Section 2:16-2.27 - Transfer of uncleaned seed

(a) Provision has been made for the transfer of uncleaned seed in bulk for certification if necessary, provided the following procedures are used:

1. It is the responsibility of the grower to notify the Department to be at the grower's farm before or at the time the seed is to be moved from the farm.

2. The grower shall supply the Department with the name of the purchaser, the exact amount of seed and the date of delivery to the purchaser.

3. The purchaser shall notify the Department when he expects to receive the seed into his warehouse so the Department inspector can be on hand to inspect the seed as it is received.

4. The purchaser shall supply a copy of the official weight receiving form and a report of the cleaning waste weight.

5. The seed shall be tagged by the Department inspector or under his or her supervision when certification is completed. Analysis tags shall include the producer's number. Seed shall be identified with the producer at all times.

(b) The rules regarding seed moved in bulk apply to the first buyer only. No further transfer in bulk is permitted. If the first buyer does not complete certification, the seed becomes ineligible for certification.

(c) Seed is not recognized as certified until it is cleaned and tagged.
