Adapted Seed Rule Aligned With Good Farming Practices
The agricultural conservation program will not pay for acres using unadapted red clover or alfalfa seed. The county agent asserts this aligns with the A A A policy to reward only practices that follow good farming methods. Seeding unadapted seed merely to obtain payment would be improper.

Seed labeling rules affect 1937 crop seedings
Des Moines officials report that any acreage planted with unadapted seed will be treated as if such seed was not planted. Unadapted seed includes imported red clover or alfalfa from non Canada sources. Federal law requires seed staining by country, with Canada 1 percent violet and South America 10 percent orange red. Farmers should keep seed sale bills to prove seed type if crop fails.
