DESCRIPTION OF OUR PROGRAM
The Wyoming Seed Certification Service is a function of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Wyoming, College of Agriculture. The authority for seed certification comes form the Wyoming Seed Law. The standards for the Wyoming Seed Certification Service are developed by the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies (AOSCA) whose authority comes from the Federal Seed Law.

The information form the field inspection, plus results form the State Seed Lab and the Plant Disease Lab are reviewed by the Wyoming Seed Certification Service to determine if a lot of seed meets all standards.
