Seed Dealers - Agricultural Seed Program
The Kansas state seed program regulates agricultural seed which includes grass, legume, forage, cereal, fiber crops, oil seed, food plot seed and any cannabis sativa crop. Vegetable, fruit, flower, tree and shrub seeds are considered horticultural seeds and are not regulated in Kansas.
The requirements within the Kansas Seed Law (K.S.A. 2-14-15 et.seq.) are there to benefit the producers, dealers and consumers by requiring the seed to be tested and labeled before it is offered for sale.
