§ 5003 Crop Seed Definition

• •Crop seed is any seed or seedlike fruit from plants like grain, beans, or beets.
• •It doesn't matter if the seed is meant for planting or not—it's still called a crop seed.
• •This rule was made in 1967.

You buy a bag of beans from the store to eat, not to plant.

Even though you're not planting them, those beans are still considered crop seeds under this law.
