This seed production venture looks quite interesting. Has it been successful?

Yes, it is being looked after by Meg Doepel. The plastic sheets keep the dropped seed clear of the dirt, but let the rain seep in. Some seeds they pick off the mature stems; for dropped seed they can use a vacuum cleaner to pick up.
