Seed certification in North Dakota

The certification of seed in North Dakota is a function of the state seed department as outlined in North Dakota Century Code chapter 4.1-53. This chapter applies to all crops, except seed potatoes, which are regulated pursuant to North Dakota Century Code chapter 4.1-55 and Administrative Code article 74-04, grown for the production of all classes of North Dakota certified seed. If a North Dakota crop is accepted for field inspection and certification for which there are no North Dakota field or seed standards, the latest standards published by the association of official seed certifying agencies for that crop will apply.
