[Adeptandy]

Any pro's and how many con's on this job ?

Appreciate the seed's more expensive and the premium I understand isn't that great, but s it worth it

depends on the premium really

in my experience it was rarely enough to cover the extra seed cost and risk, same with seed contracts in general, premium is too small for the hassle and cost

That has been my initial thoughts, seed is £100/t more and premium is 20/t, but have yet to be told if that's over feed or human consumption

Does it matter whether the harvested crop is suitable for human consumption or not

No, I gather that if it fails seed it would go straight to feed, but guess there would still be a chance of human consumption if it failed on something like germ or stem nematode.
Another issue is dessication Glypho a no no

It may be that seed quality specs are easier to hit than h/c. I've seen many samples of brown, bruchid damaged beans deemed fit for seed.
