Seed Licensing & Inspection
| |
The Montana Department of Agriculture Seed Program assures farmers, gardeners, and homeowners that seeds offered for sale in Montana are truthfully labeled for identity, contamination, and viability. The program encompasses license requirements, label requirements, seed dealer inspections, and seed sampling. Any person who sells and or labels seed that he or she produces, and has gross annual sales of $5,000.00 or more, is required to obtain a Montana seed growers license. For more information regarding the seed licensing and inspection program, please contact Brent Sarchet at (406) 444-3730.
