Big recall on some varieties of RC Switchgrass. Do not plant this stuff without checking your lot / variety. Mine is "recalled".....
Two RC Switchgrass Seed Lots are being Recalled
We have been informed that two RC Switchgrass seedlots maybe of less than normal standard. These two seedlots represent less than 2% of the annual RC Switchgrass seed supply available for sale and are exclusive to RC Chippewa seedlot RC-CHP-UR1-24 and an RC Tecumseh RC-TEC-NF1-24.
REAP-Canada develops its superior genetics at McGill University in Montreal. We then license the genetics to licensed seed growers for further distribution. REAP-Canada is a non-profit organization that breeds and licenses switchgrass varieties. The seed suppliers and retailers oversee seed quality and market the RC Switchgrass varieties. Seed sold in small clear plastic bags for habitat use are easily inspected by everyone for plumpness of the seed and weed seed content. Everyone takes a look at their bags. In effect there are 1000's of seed inspectors on the job to maintain the integrity of the seed supply along with regular commercial inspection.
The RC Chippewa lot RC-CHP-UR1-24 is being recalled due to a moisture issue. Only a very limited amount of this seed was sold. It will be replaced as the Canadian dealer has additional lots that are not affected.
The RC Tecumseh lot RC-TEC-NF1-24 is being recalled due to some reports that it is off specification. The dealers will offer either RC Sundance or RC Big Rock as a replacement.
The Canadian seed supplier and the local seed dealers are working together to replace the lots that are off specification. The affected seed dealers will reach out shortly.
