Beware of Slick Seed Salesmen At Michigan Fairs
Seed buyers should beware at fairs and exhibitions where unscrupulous peddlers lure growers with bold promises and return policies. Some offer buyback options only for crops certified from foundation seed, a misrepresentation since certification is impossible for non-foundation seed. Down payments of 50 percent plus freight and frequent substitute varieties trap buyers, who lose funds if no acceptable reply is given. Michigan State University testing guides reputable dealers to avoid unproven seeds.
