ississippi Foundation Seed Stocks, which are
made available for general release to the public, are produced,
conditioned, and allocated under regulations pertaining to
foundation class as established by the Mississippi Crop Improvement
Association and/or the Association of Official Seed Certifying
Agencies.
Foundation seed stocks are equitably allotted
and sold to Mississippi certified seed or vegetative plant
producers at a price established by MAFES. After the requirements
of Mississippi certified seed or vegetative plant producers
have been satisfied, foundation seed or plants may be sold
to other producers in Mississippi or other states. However,
in the case of newly released varieties, limited quantities
of the initial increase of foundation seed or plants may be
immediately allotted for the utilization of certified seed
producers in other states where the variety is adapted, if
such interest exists.
