Farmer to Farmer Mentorships

Practical mentorship, rooted in local experience. Looking to strengthen your seed production skills, or share your knowledge with the next generation of seed producers? Our mentorship programs connect experienced seed producers with newer growers for flexible, 1-on-1 support throughout the season. Through this program, beginner and aspiring seed growers have the opportunity to learn about all aspects of seed crop production, seed business, plant breeding, and more. Because programs differ slightly across regions, each mentorship is uniquely tailored to local participants - contact your Regional Program Manager or check out your region's webpage to see if there’s a mentorship program near you.
