The Association of Official Seed Analyst (AOSA) is an organization of member laboratories dedicated to education and research, including state, federal, and university laboratories from the United States and Canada.
AOSA formally organized in Washington D.C. in 1908, developing rules and procedures for seed testing and the standardization of their interpretation (in conjunction with the Federal Seed Act)
The Society of Commercial Seed Technologists (SCST) is an organization of professional seed technologists dedicated to research, proficiency and improvement in seed testing from private, and company laboratories across the United States and Canada.
SCST originated in 1922, largely as a liaison between The Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA) and The American Seed Trade Association (ASTA).

At our banquet, new certified members, honorary members and outgoing board members were recognized. We also had our first raffle drawing where we raised $1000 for scholarships to attend the annual meeting!!!! What a great night!!
Everyone recognized at the banquet will recieve thier photo via email once we have them.
Day 3 Part 1: Today was a day full of referee and research presentations as well as our long range planning session. Our analysts conduct research and perform referees to update the rules with the most accurate testing methods. In these presentations we get to see the results of their hard work! Great job everyone!
Stay tuned for Part 2 which will include moments from our awards banquet!
