SB 485 - This act updates and provides clarification to Missouri Seed Law. Several new definitions have been added to account for new processes and technologies. The categories of permits for selling seed have been reduced from five to four.
The act also provides updated instructions for labeling of contents including but not limited to:
(1) Accepted tolerances for noxious weeds; (2) Germination percentages; (3) Coating weights; (4) Innoculants; and (5) Hybrid varieties.
An exemption is created for farmer producers selling
unlabeled agricultural, lawn, or vegetable seed produced by the
farmer.
