RELATES TO: KRS 250.081(1)(c)9
STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 250.081
NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: To prescribe a
uniform manner of avoiding contradictory information on printed seed bags and
on tags attached to the printed bags in situations where analysis after bagging
reveals that a mixture of seed kinds is present rather than a single seed kind.
Section 1. Labeling Tall Fescue and Orchardgrass
Seed Mixtures in Printed Bags. (1) Seed of mixtures sold in a bag printed with
the words "Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue" on the front (broad) side shall
have a seed tag attached that complies with applicable statutes, and the words
"and Orchardgrass Mixture" printed or applied by stencil on the front
(broad) side of the bag in lettering that is at least one (1) inch high and
located no more than three (3) inches from the "Kentucky 31 Tall
Fescue" letters.
(2) Seed in a bag on which "Kentucky 31 Tall
Fescue" is printed on the back (broad) side shall have the words "and
Orchardgrass Mixture" printed on the back (broad) side of the bag and the
words "and Orchardgrass Mixture" printed or applied by stencil on the
bag in lettering that is at least one (1) inch high and located no more than
three (3) inches from the "Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue" letters.
Section 2. The information on the bag of other
kinds of mixtures in printed bags shall be the same as the information on the
attached tag. If alteration of a printed bag is necessary to show that the seed
is a mixture, the alteration shall be accomplished by use of stencil on the bag
in lettering that is at least one (1) inch high and that is located no more
than three (3) inches from the original lettering. (20 Ky.R. 3324; eff.
