Who may purchase seed from Texas Foundation Seed Service?

Any federal or state agency, seed company, or agricultural producer who is actively engaged in the production of certified, registered, or hybrid planting seeds, may purchase seeds from TFSS. All customers of TFSS must participate in the seed certification programs in the state where the seed is to be grown. All customers will be required to abide by all federal and state seed laws pertaining to the variety of seeds purchased, and will be required to abide by licensing agreements and royalty arrangements for the varieties purchased.

Failure to adhere to the above policy requirements may inhibit future purchases of seed from TFSS.

If you are not currently a Certified Seed Producer, and would like to participate in Certified Seed production in Texas, you may apply, at no cost, with the Texas Department of Agriculture Inspector for your area of the state.
