The Crop Science Society of America is a scientific nonprofit based in Madison, Wisconsin, founded in 1955. It serves as a professional body for researchers and practitioners in crop science, focusing on the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge across seed genetics and plant breeding, crop physiology, production and quality, germplasm resources, and environmental quality. The organization aims to advance the discipline by organizing information and fostering discussions that relate crops to a broad range of scientific and practical concerns. It operates within the nonprofit sector of agricultural sciences, contributing to the understanding and improvement of crop systems. The society also maintains active engagement with researchers and institutions through its programs and publishing activities, supporting the exchange of findings within the field. A recent development noted in industry coverage is recognition of a member as a 2024 Fellow, reflecting ongoing involvement and distinction within the crop science community.
