For more than 100 years, the Seed Lab and the Seed Science Center at Iowa State University have provided training for seed industry professionals by hosting short courses and workshops.  Each April through August Seed Conditioning Specialist Alan Gaul and Interim Seed Lab Manager Jessica Blake facilitate workshops covering topics ranging from seed testing and cleaning, to gravity separation, color sorting, and seed treatment.

Regularly scheduled courses in seed conditioning and seed analysis, as well as periodic workshops in testing for genetic traits and seed health are available.
