Seed Regulatory Program 

The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) is responsible for regulating the sale and labeling of agricultural and vegetable seed sold, offered for sale, or transported within Oregon.

The program also examines the records of wholesale seed companies to ensure compliance with Oregon and federal seed laws, as well as provides sampling and testing of seed sold at the retail level to ensure compliance with Oregon's seed law. Tests are conducted to check for proper germination, weed seed content, and other factors important to Oregon consumers.
