My question regards feminized seed and its use in certified organic systems. I have contacted several certification agencies regarding this issue and have received varying responses regarding its use. Mostly, west coast agencies have determined that feminized seed is allowable, while east coast have determined that feminized seed is not allowed. This creates confusion and distrust among growers and seed houses. Please, the USDA NOP needs to make a decision on the use of feminized seed in certified organic operations so that all growers are on equal grounds. 

Thank you
