The object of the Wisconsin Experiment Association, later known as the Wisconsin Crop Improvement Association, when it was developed in 1901, was to grow and disseminate the improved pedigree seed grain.
The Wisconsin Crop Improvement Association (WCIA), initially called the Wisconsin Experiment Association, was organized in 1901 by Ransom Asa Moore at the University of Wisconsin–Madison College of Agriculture, with the help of farmers and graduates of the Long and Short Course as means to improve and disseminate seeds and in 1919 led to the development of the International Crop Improvement Association, now called the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies (AOSCA).
