2024 Minnesota Certified Seed Guide Published

This year’s Minnesota Certified Seed Guide is now available! Minnesota Farm Guide published the 2024 edition earlier this month. This annual publication is a collaborative effort of MCIA and the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station (MAES). It lists seed producers, includes MAES crop trial results, and features news and information relevant to the seed industry.

Learn what keeps the MCIA Field Services staff busy over the winter. Andrea Johnson contributes an article about approved seed facility inspections, taking you inside seed cleaning plants operated by Syngenta Seeds in Davers and Lee’s Seed Farm near Benson. The issue also includes an article explaining how the UMN’s Soybean Research Center, founded in 2020, drives collaboration and innovation. And catch up on industry news: 2023 was a year of change and renewal at the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Seed Regulatory Program. Read about the program’s new staff and management.

A digital version of the Minnesota Certified Seed Guide can be found here. If you’d like a printed copy, please request one from your MCIA field supervisor or from the MCIA office.
