We also grow and contract with other growers to produce a large selection of high quality cultivated field produced seed. Much of our seed is processed or conditioned at our own modern and well-equipped seed conditioning facilities. Our well-trained and experienced seed conditioning technicians take pride in producing superior quality seed. These factors combined assure our customers the best seed products available on the market. |

Testing and Labeling All of our seed is tested for purity, germination, weeds and other characteristics by a registered seed laboratory. Each bag is then labeled with all of the appropriate seed information and in accordance with State and Federal regulations. This assures our customers are getting exactly what they expect.

Certified Seed Stevenson Intermountain Seed, Inc. promotes the use of "Certified" seed when possible. Certified seed guarantees a specific, known and tested genetic identity as well as high quality as related to purity, germination, other crop seed and weeds. Each state has an authorized seed certifying agency. Only seed with a named released variety such as "Trailhead" great basin wildrye can be "certified". In order to qualify as certified seed the state certifying agency makes sure the regulations for certified seed are followed by inspections during the planting, growing, harvesting and conditioning of each lot of seed.

Source Identified Seed Stevenson Intermountain Seed, Inc. identifies and keeps track of the origins of every lot of seed it sells. Knowing the origin and associated ecological conditions of a seed lot is important. This allows us to match lots of seed with similar ecological conditions to the ecological conditions of the planting site to ensure compatibility. The Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies (AOSCA) has approved a class of seed certification for wildland harvested seed called "source identified class". The "yellow tag" associated with this certified seed class verifies the origin of a particular lot of seed. |

Pure Live Seed (PLS)
We recommend that you buy your seed on a pure live seed basis, or ask for exact purity and germination percentages so that the percent pure live seed can be calculated. This information is vital to know the true value of a seed lot. Never buy seed that has not been tested. Seed that has a high purity and a high germination is obviously worth much more than seed with a low purity and germination. The percent pure live seed will help you compare the exact value of one lot of seed with another lot.
Percent Pure Live Seed (% PLS) = (Purity x Germination) /100
Pure Live Seed (PLS) Cost / lb. = (Bulk Cost / lb. x 100) / %PLS
