(3) In cases where an adjoining field is
					 planted with a different variety of red clover, or red clover of a lower class,
					 isolation may be obtained by measuring off the required strip in the certified
					 seed field. This isolation strip may be mowed for hay or it may be harvested
					 for uncertified seed under the following conditions:
(a) The grower must apply for certification
					 of the entire red clover field and clearly stake off the isolation strip. The
					 entire field must pass all certification requirements, except for isolation at
					 time of inspection. The field report will show rejection due to lack of
					 isolation.
(b) The grower must
					 harvest and deliver to a department approved conditioning plant the seed from
					 the certified portion of the field separately from the seed from the isolation
					 strip. After the seed is weighed and lotted in the weight of the seed from the
					 isolation strip is to be reported to the seed program. At this time the seed
					 program records will indicate the field has passed certification.
