Dear member of the International Herbage Seed Group

I’m happy to announce that our website is now updated and active www.ihsg.org.

President’s Column

At present we really appreciate that our country, Denmark, is located in a cold, wet (and dark) climate! I guess we’re all curious to know, if we will get a white Christmas this year – most likely we will not! At the same time I know, that our colleagues in New Zealand and elsewhere in the Southern hemisphere, are preparing for seed harvest!

President’s Column

During the IHSG workshop in Winchester in July the presidency was passed from Bill Young to me, which I find both a great honour and a great challenge.

Welcome to the third issue (No. 37) of the electronic-only edition of the International Herbage Seed Group newsletter. Again, those reading it have received notice via e-mail that it was recently posted on the IHSG web site (http://cropandsoil.oregonstate.edu/ihsg/default.htm). Regrettably, it has been one year since we posted No. 36 in July 2003; however, our goal is to do better in the future.

President's Column

This issue (No. 35) will be the first electronic-only edition of the International Herbage Seed Group newsletter. Thus, those reading it have received notice via e-mail that it was recently posted on the IHSG web site. In addition, this select group has also taken the few minutes necessary to register an e-mail address and update their membership at te web site. In particular, I'd like to thank those who took the initiative to do so following their receiving IHSG newsletter No. 34.

President's Column

As was detailed in my last column, the IHSG is going through a transition period. Much of this transition is rooted in the financial difficulties created by the loss of the Journal of Applied Seed Production, and the subscription fees that supported the newsletter. These could be called “difficult times,” but I prefer to look at it more optimistically. Thus, the challenge is to identify the new opportunities we have given this situation. The new logo introduced on the cover of this issue is both a beginning and an end.

President’s Column

The presidency of IHSPRG has recently been passed from Mario Falcinelli to me. There is more to be said about that in the minutes reported elsewhere in this newsletter from the IHSPRG meeting held during the XIX International Grassland Congress at San Paulo, Brazil on February 13. I’m not sure this was a fair and democratic process, but please trust me to do the best that I can to continue the strong leadership our organization has benefited from in the past.
