The ISTA is comprised of 100 members of which 61 percent are family-owned seed farm operations. Its members produce seed on more than 277,000 acres in Indiana, and ISTA members inject over $13,000,000 in premium seed production payments into the Indiana farm economy. The aims of the Indiana Seed Trade Association are to develop friendly business relations between its members, to promote the legitimate interests of seed trade within the state, and to cooperate with educational and regulatory authorities in the development of sound and effective seed programs in the interests of agriculture. Historically, Indiana seedsmen have been leaders in many areas of the seed trade. Active involvement of members will help fulfill current and future needs of all seedsmen. The ISTA is seeking results, not reasons.
