Section 285.628.3. Application.

(1) A person may apply for certification of seed potatoes that are eligible for certification by filing a written  application   with   the official seed-certifying agency on or before June 10 of each  year  if  the operation is located south of highway 55 and on or before June 20  of  each year if located north of highway 55.

(2)    Separate seed operations may be designated, however, the description of these separate operations shall be jointly agreed upon by the owner or manager and the official seed-certifying agency at the time of application for certification. Individual fields  will   not  be  considered   separate operations in and of themselves. The  owner or manager shall submit a separate application for certification for each designated operation. Each separate operation shall have a unique and dedicated storage facility, and any equipment used in the operation shall be assigned only  to  that operation unless the equipment is power washed and  disinfected  between operations. The power washing and disinfection shall be documented  for future reference by the official seed-certifying agency.
