Independent seed producers hold annual conference
The Independent Professional Seed Association saw attendance approach 300 at the Association's 23rd Annual Conference and Trade Show, Jan. 17 to 19 in Indianapolis, Ind. The event featured outstanding keynote speakers on a variety of relevant topics. "The IPSA Annual Conference continues to set the bar higher each year with quality programming and talented speakers, maintaining a unique position for the Conference among its peer events" commented outgoing IPSA President Steve Kinsell, Silver Lane Hybrids, Remington, Ind. IPSA's Business Development Committee provided insight and support throughout the conference planning process. IPSA President John Hennenfent, Munson Hybrids, Galesburg, Ill., served as chairman of the planning committee and offered this assessment: "This year's Committee began the planning process early by identifying relevant topics and interesting speakers for 2012 that encouraged attendance and participation. I want to thank the Committee for their hard work and energy in bringing this event together, and look forward to a stronger conference in 2013 in Tucson." IPSA also awarded its 2011 Industry Service Award to Dave Moe, formerly with Bayer CropScience. Dave was recognized for his service to agriculture and to IPSA, having served on the Association's Business Development and Education Committees, including serving as Committee Chairman. IPSA President John Hennenfent stated, "Dave Moe demonstrates the essential characteristics of an Association member - giving selflessly of his time and talents to something larger than himself, with no expectation of something in return. This award is a small way for IPSA to recognize Dave's significant commitment and efforts in support of regional, independent seed companies across the country." More information can be found at the IPSA website at www.independentseeds.com. The Independent Professional Seed Association was formed in 1989 by a group of independent seed producers who recognized the need for an organization to represent independent seed companies world-wide. The Association addresses research and biotechnology issues and increases the media presence of the industry in an increasingly competitive and dynamic business climate. IPSA represents approximately 100 seed companies from throughout the United States and Canada, who produce and market a significant portion of the corn, soybeans, small grain and forage seeds planted annually.
