Quality
Maine Seed
Maine
seed potatoes have earned the reputation as a "healthy
producer." Potato farmers throughout the Eastern United States,
from New York to Florida, and Pennsylvania to North Carolina, know that
when they plant Certified Maine seed, they can depend on exceptional
yields. The quality of Maine's seed is no doubt due to the
implementation of one of the first and toughest Certified Seed programs
in the country. In fact, other states have used Maine as a model for
developing their own certification standards.
As one
of the first states to initiate a required generation program, Maine’s
four year “limited generation flush out” program assures buyers that
all
Maine Certified and Foundation seed is no more than four years from
nuclear stock. The bottom line is higher average yield per acre.
