About

You are invited to a briefing on An Assessment of Native Seed Needs and the Capacity for Their Supply: Final Report, prepared by an ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The final reportprovides findings on public and private sector needs for the seeds of native plants for ecological restoration and other revegetation activities, and an assessment of the nation’s capacity to supply native seeds for multiple purposes. The report presents the results of two surveys, one of native seed suppliers and the other, of state departments of wildlife, parks, transportation, and agriculture. The report offers insights into the native needs uses of federal land-management agencies, tribal nations, and the private sector, and provides recommendations for improving the reliability, predictability, and performance of the native seed supply.

About

The public is invited to join the Committee on An Assessment of Native Seed Needs and Capacities on Tuesday, May 4, 2021 from 3:30 - 5:00 PM EDT (via Zoom) as it continues to examine challenges to the supply of native seeds for ecological restoration and other uses. One of those challenges is seed testing. Seed vigor is critical for determining seeding rates and plays a major role in seed price calculations.Inconsistent test results for seed viability add costs, create confusion and undermine the seed supply. The committee will be hear about the state of the science of seed testing by Gil Waibel, an expert in the field, and learn from two seed suppliers, Dustin Terrell and Andy Ernst, how seed testing results affect their businesses.

Invited Speakers:

Gil Waibel, Seed Physiologist Technologist Lead, Bayer CropSciences

Dustin Terrell, Buffalo Brand Seeds

About

You are invited to join the Committee on An Assessment of Native Seed Needs and Capacities as it explores how policy and funding are shaping public and private demand for native plant seed, and how demand from the two sectors influence each other in the native seed supply. Experts from the USDA Farm Production and Conservation mission, the USDA Economic Research Service, and the Tallgrass Prairie Center of the University of Northern Iowa will explain what drives demand in these sectors, how it is evolving, and whether supply is meeting demand. Presenters will discuss what is known about the scale at which native seeds are being used, the specific uses and characteristics of native seeds being requested, and steps that can be taken to better understand and assist suppliers in meeting public and private needs for native seed.

The public is invited to join us virtually on Monday, March 8, 2021, 4:00 – 5:30 pm Eastern Time.

Discussants include:

Rich Iovanna, Agricultural Economist, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service

Bryan Pratt, Research Agricultural Economist, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Laura Jackson, Director, Tallgrass Prairie Center, and Professor of Biology, the University of Northern Iowa

Laura Walter, Plant Materials Program Manager, Tallgrass Prairie Center of the University of Northern Iowa

Kristine Nemec, Integrated Roadside Vegetation Manager, Tallgrass Prairie Center of the University of Northern Iowa
