The rice seed industry has voted against USA Rice Federation’s plan to test certified rice seed for the presence of LL601 and LL62. While seedsmen pledged to work with the industry to help get commercial seed stocks of Cheniere out of the system, they voted against “running any tests on commercial seed stocks to provide any documents that are not required by law. The retail invoice for certified seed shall be the only documentation delivered to purchasers at the time of sale.” The seedsmen approved the position at a meeting of the industry’s Certified Rice Seed Channel on Dec. 15 in Memphis. A statement said the Federation’s proposal “will require substantial additional costs to the industry for no useful purpose, creating the risk that legal seed stocks could be eliminated from the marketplace.”
