Policy

Mississippi 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.
