Grasses - more than just seed production!

Welcome to the 44^th edition of the IHSG newsletter.

Welcome to the 43rd edition of the IHSG newsletter.

I would like to introduce Jason Trethewey as new IHSG newsletter editor. Athole Marshall informed me in spring, that he wanted to resign as the newsletter editor. On behalf of IHSG I want to thank Athole for all the work he has put into the newsletter since he became editor in 1998. “Thank you very much, Athole”. 

Dear member of the International Herbage Seed Group

I’m very happy to provide you information on the upcoming 7th International Herbage Seed Conference in Overton Texas in April 2010.

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.
