I have again offered to coordinate US donations for SRGC and AGS. Deadlines will be posted By Ian when established; otherwise the 2023-2024 guidelines will apply.
Please send seed as soon as possible to allow time for processing and paperwork. Late ripening seed may be received after the deadline, until one day before inspection if:
1) I know it is coming.
2) it is commercially clean.
3) it arrives on time.
Seed being sent under a Phytosanitaty certificate are held to a much higher standard of cleanliness than seed entering the country under a small lots permit.
I continue to be willing to do the cleaning; but, PLEASE, not at the last minute.
Last year I worked 75 consecutive hrs (except for meals & restroom) cleaning late arriving seed. I am 84 years old, and I don't think my body will tolerate that again.
