Enhancing farming sustainability - ASTA's online seed guide

By Farms.com

The American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) introduces an online seed guide facilitating farmers' access to professional seed suppliers. This resource simplifies seed selection for environment, conservation, and cover crops, promoting sustainability in agriculture.

ASTA President Andy LaVigne stresses the significance of proactive planning in seed procurement. Professional seeds are meticulously processed and tested, ensuring optimal performance and minimizing weed presence, thereby supporting farmers' success and sustainability goals.

The guide, regularly updated with input from ASTA members, offers the latest information on locally sourced seeds. Survey findings suggest a rise in cover crop planting, driven by USDA initiatives. This underscores the guide's importance in advocating for sustainability and meeting the increasing demand for conservation resources.
