Questions and Answers

Question 1: Are there any certifications or other documentation required from the supplier to satisfy for delivery?

Answer 1: I would like to see PLS (pure live seed) and collection source certifications for the seed.

Question 2: Are there any delivery restrictions such as truck size at the facility?

Answer 2: No truck size restrictions

Question 3: Is the facility capable of receiving palatalized deliveries?

Answer 3: We have no loading dock, but can accept palletized deliveries if the truck has a lift/drop gate

Question 4: Does the seed need to be delivered all at once / approximate date(s) needed and does the location have the ability to accept pallets?

Answer 4: Seed does not need to be received all at once. We can accept pallets assuming they are delivered by a truck/van with a lift.
