2006 Annual Report 4d.Progress report. This report serves to document research conducted under a specific cooperative agreement between ARS and Cornell University. Additional details of this research can be found in the report for the parent project 1910-21000-016-00 D 'Conservation and Utilization of Germplasm of Selected Vegetable Crops'. Workshops: Workshops on seed saving, seed production and/or the economics of seed production were conducted at the Black Kettle Farm in Essex, NY on October 5, 2005; the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station’s Valley Laboratory in Windsor, CT on October 20, 2005; the NOFA Winter Pre-Conference in Syracuse, NY on January 27, 2006; the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) Annual Summer Conference in Amherst, MA on August 11-12, 2006; and the Common Ground Country Fair in Unity, ME on September 22-23, 2006. Demonstrations: Displays and demonstrations of the mobile seed processing unit and/or Organic Seed Partnership outreach material were held at the NOFA-MA Summer Conference in Amherst, MA on August 11-12, 2006; the Common Ground Fair in Unity, ME on September 22-23, 2006; and the NOFA-NY Annual Pre-Conference in Syracuse, NY on January 27, 2006. Community Seed Days: The mobile seed processing unit was set up at several locations for wet and dry seed processing during weeklong community seed days. The community seed days were held in, Essex, Newark, Moravia, Peru, Norwich, Poughkeepsie and Cochecton Center, NY; Sheffield, MA and in Windsor, CT. In addition to workshops, demonstrations and community seed days, PGRU maintains and updates the Organic Seed Partnership’s (OSP) website (www.OrganicSeedPartnership.org). This website contains updated news and events about the OSP and other news related to organic farming, goals for the program, cooperator information and links to their websites, organic resources available worldwide, detailed information for seed production (including 2 videos totaling 14-minutes describing and demonstrating wet and dry seed processes), detailed information about current organic breeding projects underway in the OSP (including a 20-minute video describing breeding techniques for 5 major crops), and information about the numerous on-farm organic vegetable variety trials. In addition to the wealth of information offered on the OSP website, there is also an updated calendar of events and links to related projects throughout the world.
