Section 115.181 - Seed house inspection

(a) Ear inspection shall be made after the seed is harvested, dried, culled, ear picked (ready for shelling). If found to contain more than .1% off-type ears, or any kernels pollinated by other corn, the lot of seed may not be considered satisfactory for certification and shall have to be reworked and reinspected before shelling.

(b) Lots of seed found shelled before ear inspection shall be disqualified for certification.

(c) If the lot is approved upon ear inspection, it may then be shelled and graded in preparation for final certification.
