The Independent Professional Seed Association (IPSA) 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 nearly 100 seed companies from 20 states and Canada, who produce nearly 20 percent of the corn, soybeans, small grain and forage seeds marketed annually.
"I always have confidence in varieties suggested by PFS as they test their beans very locally. I have never been disappointed in anything I've tried. Great people to work with." - Karl Langseth, Argusville, ND
