Quality Control

Every Seedwest seed is produced with quality in mind. A stringent quality assurance program ensures our seeds are superior, both inside and out.

Rigorous Seed Stock Program

To provide customers with genetically pure, virtually disease-free seed, Seedwest maintains a rigorous seed stock program and strictly monitors production and harvesting. Along with regular field and windrow inspections, every combine is inspected and, if necessary, cleaned before entering a field.

Meticulous Cleaning

After harvest, all seed is meticulously cleaned using state-of-the-art equipment including mills, destoners, aspirators, rice mills, electric eyes and handpick tables. In addition, all milling and processing equipment is completely emptied and cleaned between each variety, followed by a contrasting class lot to ensure purity.

 

Without GMO Labeling

Seedwest seed is GMO-free—no genetically modified organisms are used in production or in research and development. In addition, the seed is identity preserved. A designated number follows each bulk box of seed during processing, treating and packaging. That means every seed can be traced back to the grower, field and variety.

Seed Agency Standards

All crops and seed must pass seed agency standards. Seedwest seed is produced under the crop improvement certification program, the state Department of Agriculture inspection program and under licensing agreements with private companies.

 

A Seedwest Seed's Life

Germination

Seeds are sampled for germination both upon receipt and after packaging and are then sent for outside analysis.

Treating

Seeds are treated using one of the most effective, safe treatments on the market. For dry beans, that is Maxim®, Apron XL®, Rancona, Vibrance and a polymer slurry coating, which almost eliminates “dusting off” problems, protecting seed handlers. Pea and lima bean seed receive similar treatments.

 

Tagging

Each seed bag receives a tag that contains the purity evaluation, germination, seed treatment, classification and seed count.

Shipping

After treating, the seed is bagged, palletized and then shrink-wrapped or packed in bulk totes.
