Does a producer with a gross income under $5,000 per year have to use organic seeds?
Yes. Producers who gross under $5,000 per year have to follow all of the same standards for their crop production as a producer over $5,000. Does seed for forage crops have to be organic? Yes, however the same exception for commercial unavailability will be honored. Do seed companies have to be certified? Yes, if a seed company is repackaging organic seeds they have to be certified as a handler. Both Fedco and Johnnys have indicated to MOFGA that they will apply for certification this year. If I am growing squash or some other winter storage crop this year and do not quite meet the standards by some small noncompliance, may I still market it as organic after October 21, 2002? If you receive certification from an accredited certifier before October 21, 2002, you may market based on that certification certificate until the renewal date. After October 21, 2002, producers will have to be in full compliance at the time of the certifier’s decision. Do seedlings have to be organic? Annual see
