Seed Scoop – August 18, 2023
It is that time of year again! Variety verification seed sample bags are being mailed out to all growers who produced plots in 2023 and Form 50s are available in SeedCert.
Growers producing Foundation, Select and Probation plots must submit a seed sample directly to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) Seed Science Unit to complete the certification process. Growers are asked to submit one seed sample per crop certificate. It’s important to follow the seed sample submission procedures provided to ensure that your seed sample meets requirements. Additionally, to complete the seed plot certification process, growers must also complete Form 50 in SeedCert to report on the production of that plot.
All submissions are required by February 15, 2024. Variety verification seed samples and Form 50 submission procedures can be found here. Should you have any questions, please contact us at 613.236.0497 ext. 8806 or by email.
