Please call (651) 201-6620 to verify a current list of the Wholesale Produce Dealers.
If there is a contract due date, payment should be on that date. If there is no contract, the due date is 10 days. The farmer
has only 40 days after the due date. A claim should be filed the day after the due date. This would not necessarily mean that
action is undertaken immediately but that the claim would be on file if payment is not forthcoming but means that the seller
can collect on the bond. The rules for filing with the federal P.A.C.A. are similar. Therefore, it would be appropriate to file a
claim after 10 days.
The laws do not protect the farmer unless he is willing to do two things: 1. He makes sure the buyer is licensed and
He files timely against the proceeds of the bond and the trust.

SUMMARY OF CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

  1. All potatoes planted within a farming operation must be approved for certification and entered for
    inspection.
  2. All equipment and storage facilities within the farming operation must be used only for certified seed
    potatoes.
  3. Each seed field must undergo at least two inspections during the growing season.
  4. Storage facilities and equipment used for grading and handling seed potatoes must be cleaned,
    sanitized and inspected at least once a year.
  5. No bacterial ring rot may be found on the farming operation to qualify for Generation, Primary
    Foundation or Foundation status.
  6. The zero tolerance for bacterial ring rot means that no observed amount is allowed during inspection.
    The discovery of a single plant in the field or a single tuber in storage infected with bacterial ring rot
    shall cause rejection of the field or lot. The absence of a finding shall not be construed to mean that
    the field or lot inspected is free from the disease or disease causing agent.
  7. Certification requirements are not complete on any lot of seed potatoes until it has been properly
    graded, identified with official tags or official bulk certificates, and has passed official grade inspection.
  8. Final grading inspection and tagging is under the supervision of Federal-State inspectors and a
    certificate of inspection must accompany each shipment.
    GRADE REQUIREMENTS
    The BLUE tag is issued on lots that have met all field and storage inspection requirements as well as
    standards higher than the U. S. No. 1 Seed Grade for size, condition, and physical defects.
    The YELLOW tag is issued on lots that have met the same certification requirements as blue tag,
    however, there is a higher grade tolerance for certain physical defects and mechanical injury.
    The WHITE tag is issued on lots meeting the same certification requirements as yellow tag, except that
    grade is according to agreement between buyer and seller as to size and certain defects.
    WINTER TEST
    In order to help determine if any late season spread of certain virus diseases has occurred, all lots
    destined for certification are samples at harvest for additional testing during the winter. Minnesota’s
    winter test standards require that there be no more than one half of one percent of any or all virus
    diseases, and no spindle tuber or chemical damage detected in the sample to be eligible for planting for
    seed certification
    DISCLAIMER
    A certification does not represent warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, including merchantability, as
    to the quality of the crop produced from the certified see potatoes. A certification represents only that the
    seed potatoes were produced, grade, sacked or placed in bulk, and inspected in accordance with
    Minnesota Rules, Parts 1555.6720 to 15556950.
    NOTICE
    Line Selections / Varietal Strains
    The Minnesota Department of Agriculture Seed Potato Program certification confirms that each lot of
    potatoes in this directory have met the standards or requirements of State law, including but not limited to
    variety name and presence or absence of disease. This directory may also include line selection/varietal
    strains of certain identifiable varieties. This is indicated as “source documented as”. Although the
    certification tag may designate variety, strain or line selection names, that information is derived solely
    from the documentation supplied by the applicant for certification. Individual seed growers may have
    developed, or obtained from another source, lines/strains that possess yield, maturity, vine or tuber
    characteristics that may be different from the variety as originally described and named. A line/strain
    cannot usually be distinguished from the parent potato variety by conventional certification methods or by
    laboratory testing means. The seed grower is responsible for informing the seed buyer about line/strain
    existence and characteristics. Seed buyers should ask seed sellers about lines/strains that may be
    included among the seed lots listed.

1
The purpose of this table is to express equivalency of terms used by various certification
agencies for seed potatoes harvested from a series of successive field plantings. For specific criteria
relating to disease tolerances and other requirements, the reader is referred to the certification
regulations of the agency in question. 2
The first field planting utilizes laboratory-tested stocks which may be tissue-cultured plantlets,
greenhouse-produced minitubers, stem cuttings, or line selections. Contact agencies for details as to
types of stocks planted in their programs. 3
Term used by agency for seed potatoes for a particular year in the field: C=certified, E=elite,
F=foundation, G=generation, N=nuclear, PE=pre-elite. 4
If lots originate at Cornell-Uihlein Farm, the first three generations (G1-G3) are also designated
by a U to denote source. 5,6 Foundation Year (Wisconsin), FY = Field Year (Michigan)
FINAL APPROVED LIST OF CERTIFIED SEED POTATO LOTS
ELIGIBLE FOR RECERTIFICATION PLANTING
The following list of seed lots have met field inspection requirement for certification. Samples
from these lots have been winter tested to determine their final classification and eligibility for
recertification. Seed class designations are as follows: Primary Foundation (PF), Foundation
(F), Generation 1 (G1), Generation 2 (G2), Generation 3 (G3), Generation 4 (G4), Generation
5 (G5). A variety may be protected by the Plant Variety Protection (PVP) Act. Buyers should
validate the status of the variety from the vendors and variety owner.

If there is a contract due date, payment should be on that date. If there is no contract, the due date is 10 days.
The farmer has only 40 days after the due date. A claim should be filed the day after the due date. This would
not necessarily mean that action is undertaken immediately but that the claim would be on file if payment is not
forthcoming but means that the seller can collect on the bond. The rules for filing with the federal P.A.C.A. are
similar. Therefore, it would be appropriate to file a claim after 10 days.
The laws do not protect the farmer unless he is willing to do two things: 1. He makes sure the buyer is licensed
and 2. He files timely against the proceeds of the bond and the trust.
