Seed subject to seizure, when — proceedings — disposition of condemned seed. — Any lot of agricultural or vegetable seed found in the possession of a single owner or custodian and not in compliance with the provisions of this law shall be subject to seizure upon complaint of the director of the department of agriculture to the circuit court of the county or city in which such seed is located.
