Chapter 576 - Agricultural Marketing Generally
Section 576.735 - Seed not meeting quality standards.

(a) Any price stated in the seed production contract for seed not meeting quality standards;
(b) If not determined by the seed production contract, any price agreed to by the parties; or
(c) If not determined by the seed production contract or by agreement, the market price for seed of the same kind and quality as the produced seed. However, a seed price established by the use of market price may not exceed any price established in the seed production contract for seed that meets quality standards.
(2) An accord that creates a seed purchase contract under subsection (1) of this section does not affect the terms of a seed production contract for any seed that was not described in the test results and inquiry sent by the producer.
(3) A producer may send test results and make an inquiry under subsection (1) of this section in any manner that documents seed dealer receipt of the test results and inquiry. A seed dealer may send a response under subsection (1) of this section to a producer in any manner that documents producer receipt of the response.
(4) If, within 30 days after the seed dealer receives the test results and inquiry from the producer, the seed dealer has not delivered a response informing the producer that the seed dealer intends to purchase the seed, the seed dealer is deemed to have refused purchase of the seed and to have authorized the producer to sell the seed in a commercially reasonable manner as "Variety Not Stated Seed." This subsection does not authorize the sale of any seed, seed stock or plant life of a protected variety grown or used by the producer other than a sale of seed as "Variety Not Stated Seed." The remedy provided under this subsection is in addition to any other remedy available to a producer by law. An authorization for sale arising under this subsection is in addition to any other conditional or unconditional authorization for sale that a seed dealer may grant to a producer. [2011 c.356 §7]
