How is farm-saved seed defined?
Farm-saved seed is legally defined as seed planted on a farmers own holding using material harvested on his own holding. In this context, own holding may relate to one or more farms, provided they are managed as the same business. By law, a farmer cannot purchase or otherwise transfer grain from another business for subsequent re-planting.
