In the final month of the Minnesota legislative session, the disposal of unwanted seed remains on the table. “We told lawmakers unused seed goes back to the dealer and if the germ is good to use for the next year, it can be used,” said Bruce Kleven, agricultural lobbyist. “There’s a long-standing effort from House Democrats to ultimately get rid of treated seeds. They’d like to ban them if they could.” Kleven doesn’t believe this language will be adopted. “The Senate (bill) doesn’t have any of it, but the issue seems to float around a lot. It’s been happening the last five years.”
