 Quality Maine Seed 

Maine seed potatoes have earned the reputation as a "healthy producer." Potato farmers throughout the Eastern United States, from New York to Florida, and Pennsylvania to North Carolina, know that when they plant Certified Maine seed, they can depend on exceptional yields. The quality of Maine's seed is no doubt due to the implementation of one of the first and toughest Certified Seed programs in the country. In fact, other states have used Maine as a model for developing their own certification standards.

As one of the first states to initiate a required generation program, Maine’s four year “limited generation flush out” program assures buyers that all Maine Certified and Foundation seed is no more than four years from nuclear stock. The bottom line is higher average yield per acre.
