These sessions are for anyone who treats seed or is interested in learning more about seed treatment. The event is designed to allow those who hold a commercial category 4 (seed treatment) certification to obtain seed treatment education and credits. These educational sessions will cover various aspects of treating seed, including equipment, storage of treated seed, different carriers and treatments, and more. In future years, this event will be broken down into smaller time blocks and fewer credits offered at a time.
