Why Join

PSA continues to represent the common interests of seed company members, seed support members and state seed associations in the Western U.S., Canada and Mexico.  Together we educate and communicate legislative and regulatory issues affecting the seed industry and take action when required to protect the interests of the seed industry. PSA helps to build relationships within the industry and also helps in solving problems which may affect many more than one business in the industry. Many members have a lot of the same problems and being a member gives you access to experts in the field, as well as a larger pool of resources to help solve a problem. PSA participates in numerous agricultural coalitions that are heavily involved in issues of interest and concern and in ensuring that programs important to agriculture are maintained and adequately funded.
