County committees perform an important service by carefully selecting qualified producers.
Notify the Seedstocks program director of the quantity the county will accept. A county is not under obligation to accept any or all of that offered. Select producers in a fair, impartial and equitable manner. County Crop Improvement Associations have responsibility to announce new variety allocations and request signup for contract grower selection. The directors of the county Crop Improvement Association must carefully screen all applicants, place all eligible, qualified grower names in a box, and draw for the contract growers.
