The Washington Department of Agriculture designated WSCIA as the directors duly authorized agent for the purpose of certifying seed of buckwheat, chickpeas, field peas, lentils, millet, soybeans, small grain, and sorghum in WAC 16-302-010. WSCIA funds the cost for certifying these seed crops through the collection of fees in WAC 16-303-340. Overhead costs for providing these services have risen dramatically over the last several years, however the fees in this section have not been revised since 2012. After a thorough budget review, the WSCIA Board of Directors have determined that they cannot continue to provide certifying services at the current fee rate and must revise the fees in this section to more accurately recover the cost for these services.
