IPSA represents nearly 100 seed companies from more than 25 states, Canada and Mexico, who produce and sell corn, soybeans, small grain and forage seed. The Association also has over 100 associate and affiliate members, representing all facets of the seed industry. The IPSA's Board of Directors guides the policies and activities of the organization. Robinson is the Chief Technology Officer of Rob-See-Co, overseeing product management, product licensing, supplier relationships, pricing, and a range of additional responsibilities as the company continues to grow and innovate. Jim's connection to the seed industry runs deep, rooted in his family's legacy with the JC Robinson Seed Company--the western half of Golden Harvest prior to its sale to Syngenta. Growing up immersed in the world of agriculture, Jim began working in the corn nursery in 1998, aspiring to become a corn breeder. This passion led to a degree in Genetics at Iowa State University and a Ph.D. in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the University of California, San Diego. When Rob-See-Co was launched in 2013, Jim returned to the family business, taking on roles in product evaluation and management. By 2021, his extensive experience and deep industry knowledge positioned him to assume his current leadership role. "I am honored to join the IPSA Board of Directors and contribute to advancing the independent seed industry," said Jim Robinson. "I look forward to working with this talented group of leaders to support innovation, sustainability, and growth for our members and the farmers we serve."

About IPSA The Independent Professional Seed Association (IPSA) was formed in 1989 by a group of seed producers who recognized the need for an organization to represent the unique needs of independent seed companies. Six seedsmen funded a mailing to identify interest in forming an association dedicated to promoting the interests and capabilities of family-owned companies. In 1989, a founder's meeting was held with 80 charter members. The Association addresses research and biotechnology issues and increases the media presence of the industry in an increasingly competitive and dynamic business climate. Tweet |
