Unless you are registered seed merchant you are not legally allowed to re-sell seed...! Many of us were caught in this trap in 2012 when we bought in seed that we could not plant due to weather conditions than had to sit on for 12 months and then planted something with no vigour and ended up with us having a crap crop in 2014 .. two years on.

The only people who can sell or even give seed away free are registered seed merchants.


Madness I know, but that is the world we live in

Treated seed become a liability if you have got nowhere (on the holding it was purchased for ) to plant it. I understand it has to be treated like a chemical waste product and be dealt with by a registered organisation who will charge several thousands of pounds a ton to dispose of it.
 
I have a ton of SPD Costello wheat seed available due to miscalculation when ordering. Collection from South East Shropshire.

You'll be getting a call from the seed police .......... Your business website is listed on your profile and they police this forum

They will then report you to the RPA and a very nice guy will come and see you and explain for 5 minutes why you can't sell seed on. He was getting a bit pee'd off with the seed police as his visits to farms is a pure waste of tax payers money.

I had no real interest in it anyway. I had thought that I'd get it credited to me and re-invoiced by the company I'd bought it from but I'll probably end up using it on land I was going to drill in the spring
