The Independent Professional Seed Association (IPSA) was formed in 1989 by a group of seed producers who recognized the need for an organization to represent the unique needs of independent seed companies. Six seedsmen funded a mailing to identify interest in forming an association dedicated to promoting the interests and capabilities of family-owned companies. In 1989, a founder's meeting was held with 80 charter members.
The Association addresses research and biotechnology issues and increases the media presence of the industry in an increasingly competitive and dynamic business climate. |
