You can grow seed on your farm. It’s easier than you think. In this session we’ve going to start with the seed biology basics to keep you from getting into too much trouble. We”ll dive deeper into a few crops to show you how you integrate seed production into a vegetable or cut flower farm. And then we’ll get into the power of selecting your seed plants and how you can adapt varieties to your farm and even create new varieties!
