About the Salinas Farm Day<\/h2>\n

Seed Pelleting Display at Salinas Farm Day<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

The Farm Day Experience provides basic, current facts about the agriculture industry while providing vital information about the origins of food and how it is produced. Operated by a tremendous number of volunteers, the Salinas Farm Day also gives the area\u2019s agriculture industry the opportunity to interact with hundreds of excited children who in the future may opt to seek a career in agriculture. Hands-on educational activities related to agriculture are an excellent way to engage their impressionable minds.<\/p>\n

The Importance of Seed Pelleting<\/h2>\n

Over 300 ChildrenLearned About Seed Pelleting | Salinas Farm Day event<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Our Sales and Marketing Coordinator, Stacy Hasegawa and Quality Control Manager Kimberly Takacs, teamed up to create an interactive seed display that was a hit amongst the kids and chaperones.\u00a0 No one could resist the large bowls filled with colorful pelleted and raw onion, lettuce, carrot, and tomato seeds.\u00a0 The purpose of the display was to help the audience understand why seeds are pelleted and the evolution of seed planting techniques utilized by today’s vegetable growers.<\/p>\n

Learning the Benefits of Planting Pelleted Seed vs. Raw Seed<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

In addition, students were given the opportunity to participate in a seed planting exercise. Half the group was provided raw seed, and the other half was provided with pelleted seed.\u00a0 The objective of the activity was for students to drop one seed in every cell of the seed tray in three minutes or less. Our goal was to help them understand how seed pelleting speeds up the planting process and the importance of plant spacing.<\/p>\n

Educating End Consumers About Seed Technology<\/h2>\n

Because the general public knows very little about the seed industry, let alone seed treatments, they were quite surprised to learn about seed technologies and their benefits while having a great time submerging their hands in the giant bowls of seed.<\/p>\n
