POLICY FOR THE ALLOCATION OF FOUNDATION SEED TO NEBRASKA GROWERS
In cases where requests for seed exceed the supply available for distribution the following procedure in directing the distribution of Foundation seed will be utilized.

A. SEED ALLOCATION SYSTEM

The Foundation Seed Committee will be responsible for seed allocation. The ESCOP statement relating to seed will be used as the basic guideline policy for Foundation seed distribution. Among other considerations, the ESCOP statement contains provisions for avoiding allocations that will lead to monopoly.

A unit allocation system will be used. The size of the unit and the number of units to be allocated to each class of growers will depend on the crop variety, supply of seed, and the number and size of seed requests. Area adaptation of the variety will be considered in making seed allocations. The acreage a producer has been certifying and the amount of seed he has been merchandising will also be considered.

B. CLASSIFICATION OF GROWERS:

Seed growers applying for seed of a variety will be placed in one of the following classes:

CLASS 1: A CLASS I grower will be one who has produced certified seed of the crop being released in each of the previous three years or an Approved Seed Conditioner who has a continuous record of processing and/or merchandising certified seed for the past ten (10) year period.

CLASS II: A CLASS II grower will be one who has produced certified seed of the crop being released in two of the past three years or one who has a continuous record of producing and/or merchandising certified seed of any crop for the past ten (10) year period.

CLASS III: A CLASS III grower is one who produced certified seed of the crop being released once in the past two years.

CLASS IV: A CLASS IV grower is one who has produced certified seed of any crop within the last three years.

CLASS V: CLASS V growers are all who do not meet the requirements of CLASSES I through IV.

C. EXCEPTIONS

If circumstances which are deemed to be beyond the control of a grower result in his being classified in a lower class than his history of certified seed production indicates that he would normally fall, the Foundation Seed Committee can consider such circumstances and classify the grower on the basis of his total certification record.

Hours
Bagged seed can be claimed during regular office hours – Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Please call ahead to ensure that staff is readily available.
