AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSN AND PURDUE ANNOUNCE THE 2026 SEED ACADEMY
Source: Purdue University

West Lafayette, IN -- The seed industry is being asked to navigate unprecedented complexity. Trade uncertainty, evolving regulations, accelerating innovation and increasing pressure to create value throughout the supply chain are reshaping how seed companies compete and grow.

At the same time, organizations are being asked to develop the next generation of leaders who can make sound business decisions.

Success today requires more than technical expertise.
Whether you're working in production, sales, marketing, product management, agronomy or leadership, understanding how the entire business operates has become essential. Decisions about product portfolios influence pricing.

Pricing impacts customer relationships. Market dynamics affect investment decisions. The most effective professionals understand how these pieces connect.

That's why we offer the Seed Management Academy. Taking place August 18-20, 2026, the academy provides seed professionals with a deeper understanding of the business, strategy and leadership principles that drive success in today's seed industry.

For individual participants, the program offers an opportunity to broaden business acumen, strengthen decision-making skills and gain a more strategic perspective on the industry.

For organizations, the academy serves as a valuable leadership development experience that helps employees better understand how their role contributes to overall business performance and long-term success.

Join us in August, and invest in the skills that will help shape the future of your organization - and your career.
