OSA will provide hands-on instruction to help farmers build their skills in seed production biology, on-farm breeding, variety trials, seed harvesting and cleaning, choosing seed crops for their system and climate, managing population size and isolation distance, and economics and identifying markets.

Registration costs for the one-day training are $25.00, training only, and $35.00 for the training and catered lunch.
