Seed Improvement Efforts Expand Across North Carolina Communities
The North Carolina Crop Improvement Association aids farmer groups in forming one standard seed variety per crop. Four communities including Woodleaf in Rowan Nash Red Oak in Johnston and Montgomery counties are active with school-linked programs and county-wide efforts on cotton lespedeza and Irish potato seed. The goal is certified seed production and surplus seed for sale, with Middleton recommending a phased approach to seed certification and multiplication to avoid variety mixing. 13,000 of 29,000 cotton seed inspected this fall came from these local groups.
