Seed sent in now will be back in time for the December market. Testing seed early allows time to replace seed if tests reveal problems. Seed offered for sale without a label faces court action under seed law. Action may be by customers or state inspectors. All seed from farmers, farm sales, and seed companies falls under the law. Selling seed in Iowa with more than three percent weed seeds is illegal. Primary noxious weeds may not be sold. Germination tests must be within nine months of sale.
