About the First Webinar
For the first webinar in the series, please join Organic Seed Alliance, seed growers, farmers, and extension specialists for a practical, 90-minute webinar on the foundations of seed cleaning. The webinar will be held on eOrganic’s platform from 11am -12:30pm PST.
Whether you’re processing small batches for on-farm use or scaling up for commercial production, understanding seed cleaning is essential for seed quality and efficiency. This session will introduce the key principles of cleaning both wet- and dry-processed seeds, including threshing, winnowing, screening and fermenting, drying, and storage.
Presenters will share hands-on experience with crop-specific methods. Participants will gain insight into how to improve seed quality, reduce labor, and develop processes that fit their farm’s size and production goals.
