Grain Inspection Dates Change for Seed Certification
The certification circular should state July 1 as the deadline to file, not June 1. Extending by two weeks gives growers a better chance to observe field seed possibilities. If this can be decided by June 15, apply to the state seed commissioner to ensure ample time for the inspection schedule, not through the county agent.
