Welcome to MCIA - A letter from the President/CEO Dear Colleagues and Friends, The Minnesota Crop Improvement Association (MCIA) has served the agricultural industry in the Upper Midwest for over 100 years. MCIA was founded in 1903 to “promote the breeding and growing of better varieties of field crops.” In 1955, the Minnesota Seed Law was amended to officially recognize MCIA as the official seed certifying agency of Minnesota. Over the years, MCIA has expanded its programs and related services to meet the needs of its members and the demands of a changing agricultural and food industry. MCIA now offers an array of certification programs and quality assurance services for seeds, grains and other agricultural products as well as foundation and parent seed increase services, and organic certification services. Our programs are aimed at achieving our mission – to improve the productivity, profitability and competitive positions of the members of the Association who use our services. MCIA employs staff throughout Minnesota to provide personalized assistance to participants in its programs. MCIA’s highly qualified personnel are well versed in today’s product and process verification methods. MCIA’s employee’s have a unique combination of experience and relevant information available to assist your efforts in the food and fiber industry. We will work with you to make sure that you have the information and resources you require. This website is updated on a regular basis to provide program participants access to the most current forms, instructions and other information needed to participate in our programs. Contact information for staff members is also available on this website. Please contact us if you have any questions or require assistance. Sincerely, |
