Southern Seed Association (SSA) is the regional trade organization representing the planting seed industry across 16 southern states from Arizona to Virginia.

Over its 88 year history, SSA has evolved to become what is today an effective voice for seed companies and allied agribusiness at a state and regional level, an effective vehicle for communication & education with its members, and a valuable network for business.

SSA maintains close relationships with the American Seed Trade Association, the Southern Crop Production Association, and each of sixteen State Seed Associations, along with seed industry executives and government officials from across the country to keep its members up to date and active in important issues.
