Approved Certified Seed Conditioner Program
The Approved Conditioner Program in Colorado is designed to fill the need for efficient cleaning and distribution of Colorado Certified Seed. Approved seed conditioners are regular members of the Colorado Seed Growers Association and provide quality assurance for the seed producer and the seed customer. An approved conditioner is not only responsible for cleaning certified seed, but also serves as a connection between the seed producer and the seed trade. Approved conditioners include: 1) firms that are authorized to purchase field-approved seed and move it into their plants for conditioning, submit samples for laboratory analysis, order tags, labels or bulk sales certificates, and merchandise the finished product, and 2) firms that provide seed cleaning and handling services which prepare the certifiable seed to be marketed by its grower. According to CSGA standards, all certifiable hard red winter wheat must be cleaned by an approved conditioner who has secondary equipment capable of removing jointed goatgrass.
Those approved to condition certified seed are Listed in one of two categories, Class I or Class V. Seedsmen listed as Class I Conditioners may condition certifiable seed produced on their on farm or seed produced by other certified seed producers. They are so approved because of thier training and the type of equipment that they have to condition seed. Class V Conditioners are approved only to condition seed produced on their own farm or under thier own control. Either Class I or Class V Approved Conditioners may condition non-certifiable seed for others.
