The Certificate of Inspection and Distribution Report
Background: The Certificate of Inspection (C of I)describes in total a given seed lot that you have been
authorized to sell. It is verification that the seed is in fact certified. The C of I is a product of the Form D
information submitted by you with your seed sample, and of the seed testing analysis. It lists the
maximum number of bushels of that seed lot authorized for sale as well as the seed analysis information
required for labeling of the seed for sale. Other information such as the field(s) the seed came from, or,
in the case of a consolidation of seed lots, which seed lots were combined to form the seed lot
represented by the C of I. In addition, it will list any Plant Variety Protection Law that the seed lot may
be protected by.
If you sell more seed of a seed lot than is recognized by the C of I, then all of your seed becomes suspect
in a court of law should you come under litigation for seed-related issues. It doesn’t really matter how
long you’ve been in the seed business. It is important to ensure that your records are kept in a manner
so as to prevent seed identity issues. Sloppy record-keeping will not present a suitable image of your
company as you are trying to defend yourself. At the very least, KCIA will expect you to clarify any
discrepancy that is inconsistent with the C of Is you have been sent, and what steps you will take to
avoid errors in the future.
As we proceed through this paper, remember that KCIA does not limit final seed lot size but does
require for wheat, a seed sample for each 5000 bushels, ( 1 sample for 1-5000 bushels, 2 samples for
5001-10,000 bushels, etc.). The amount listed on a C of I depends on what you decide to do with each
of the test samples you submit for a variety. You may choose to keep each as a separate seed-lot and
sell it under its own number, or you may choose to consolidate several into one larger seed lot and sell it
under a new seed lot number assigned by KCIA. Either way, you CAN NOT sell more seed of a seed lot
than is represented on the C of I, it doesn’t exist and is not certified as far as KCIA records will show,
and will be out of compliance with seed law and certification standards.
This guide is intended to help you meet your responsibilities and avoid remedial actions taken by KCIA
and/or the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
