Montana Seed Growers Lead in Grain Quality and Standardization
A historical overview credits the Montana Seed Growers' association with building Montana's supremacy in high quality small grains. Since 1912 the group, led by officers including F. C. Sumner and Jim Griffin, along with extension expert Arthur J. Ogaard, has standardised crop varieties, promoted pure seed, and expanded field and lab inspections, boosting Montana's share of Chicago show prizes and supporting alfalfa seed integrity through graded certification. The drive includes county demonstrations, pedigreed seed stock, and seed lab classifications to ensure genuine Grimm and Cossack alfalfa.
