Iowa Seed Directory The Iowa Seed Directory provides information on the production and conditioning of seed in Iowa for the current year. The directory has two purposes for its publication 1) to provide a complete available listing of all fields that have met certification requirements and 2) be a useful and convenient resource for prospective buyers of seed who are attempting to locate supplies. The listings in the directory include Approved Conditioners and Certified, Quality Assurance, and Native Species Seed. A preliminary directory is released in late summer to give information of seed sources before field inspections are complete. The seed produced on the acres listed in the directories cannot be considered as Certified or Quality Assurance seed until it has passed field inspection, seed standards have been met, and the seed is properly labeled. Prior to purchasing seed from a grower listed in the directory, the purchaser should inquire as to whether or not the seed production process has been completed. A Registered, Certified, Quality Assurance, Source Identified, or Selected tag on the container is assurance the seed meets specifications. The tag may either be a pressure-sensitive tag or a heavy paper tag sewn or stapled to the bag in such a manner that it cannot be removed without damage to the tag. 2008 Preliminary Seed Directory
