Planting seed from last year's harvest can seem like a way to reduce costs — but it has many drawbacks, including potentially lower yields. It also may violate Technology Use Agreements, which grant growers the right to plant a seed variety for only one season. Planting professionally produced, certified seed is the best way to ensure the highest-quality crops, improved yields, and continued seed development to drive farm productivity.
