HERE’S WHY:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Known performance of varieties adapted
to your area.
A pedigree record that begins with the
release of breeder seed and continues until
it reaches the consumer as certified
(blue tag) seed.
Field inspected for trueness to variety and
inseparable from other crop and weed seed.
Certified seed can only be conditioned in
an approved facility.
Certified seed must meet High Quality
standards as to germination and purity.

of the risks associated with crop production. For
