The Oklahoma Crop Improvement Association will recognize four classes of
seed (propagating material) in its certification program, viz.: Breeder,
Foundation, Registered and Certified.
Classification will be based on the crop and seed meeting requirements of
the standards of the Association for the particular commodity concerned.
Unfavorable seasonal conditions may be responsible for materially
lowering the quality of seed over a wide area.
Such unfavorable conditions may make it necessary to lower the standards
of quality for a particular season. This
may be done by action of the Board of Directors.
The quality standards shall be based on average seasonal conditions.
Classes of seed recognized by the Association are defined in paragraph
XLI under Definitions.
