§ 52421 Seed Certification Oversight

• •The director and county officials can work with trusted seed-certifying groups.
• •They can watch over how seeds are harvested, cleaned, and packaged to make sure they are good quality.
• •They can check, sample, and test seeds to ensure they meet standards.
• •They can do other tasks to keep certified seeds high-quality and properly labeled.

A farmer wants to sell seeds that are labeled as high-quality.

The director and county officials can check the seeds to make sure they are really good. They watch how the seeds are cleaned and packaged, test them, and put labels on them if they pass. This helps buyers trust that the seeds are what the farmer says they are.
