UC Davis Seed Biotechnology Center offers Seed Business 101 Field Crops, Chicago, IL, December 4-8, 2015


Davis, California, USA
September 2, 2015

The next session of Seed Business 101 Field Crops course will be offered in Chicago, IL, December 4-8, 2015, organized in conjunction with the American Seed Trade Association Corn & Sorghum Seed Research Conference (December 7-11, 2015).  The course is now open for registration.

Seed Business 101 is offered by UC Davis Seed Biotechnology Center.  It was created with input from industry executives to accelerate the careers of promising new employees and young managers. The course has been offered since fall of 2010 and already attended by over 300 seed professionals.

Seed Business 101 is a one week course designed to expose participants to the five functional areas of a seed company (R&D, production, operations, sales and marketing and administration).  By creating a virtual seed company and case studies for each functional area, the course content is delivered in a very interactive way.  During each of the four case studies, participants assume a different functional responsibility within the company.  The course gives employees that are new to the seed industry a broad understanding of the major aspects of a seed company’s operations and cross-departmental knowledge of best practices for profitability. The course is taught by widely respected seed business executives with additional help of industry experts participating as guest speakers.

Early-bird closes on October 2, 2015. For details, testimonials and registrations please visit http://sbc.ucdavis.edu/Courses/Seed_Business_101/ or contact Rebeca Madrigal at (530) 752-8759 or
