buildings for various functions Today most research is done at the Great Basin Research Center In fact they were one of the first government agencies to begin warehousing seed for proposed projects ( jRBC director Scott Walker travels all over the sta te making recommendations for improving wildlife habitat on state lands As demand for seed continued to grow the supply was provided by lccal entrepreneurs "Many of the founders of the seed industry are directly connected to the Research Center" explained Walker Lloyd Stev ens said he started picking seed for the GRBC in the summer and put himself through college with the extra cash "Back then I sold it directly to the Research Center" said Lloyd Now he is part owner of one of Sanpete's largest seed companies One company Native Plants Inc started before the demand really began to boom It was started by some professors that knew there would eventually be a native seed for them industry Unfortunately the venture came too soon and went out of business before they had a chance to cash in Part of what they saw was federal and state agencies eventually needing large amounts of seed Already to collect seed themselves Gunnison

manpower ISSN Internet - Caller ID - DSL December Valley News The farsighted were professors right and now agencies spend millions of dollars for seed most of which comes from private industry The Great Basin Research Center still cleans and stores their own seed but no where near the volume that the private sector produces "It's a very tight market" says Walker as he looks over his list of seed companies in the area "and bids have very little variation" Wholesalers must predict their costs ahead of time trying to predict overhead costs Occasionally they can miscalculate and cost the company thousands of dollars "In a way it's similar to high stakes gambling" said Lloyd Stevens In addition to inherent volatility companies have to comply with the state laws and seed certification guidelines When the seed is sold it is shipped and tested by the purchaser and they sample for moisture content viability purity etc If the seed is bad the whole lot is thrown out To avoid this from happening sellers separate large orders into smaller increments and test each section This way if one section fails the whole order won't be thrown out Because of the tightness of bids they can begin is imperative Seed identification because some pickers try to pull the wool over buyers' eyes by picking one seed and selling it as another Or worse yet some people pick the seed immaturely or cut off the seed heads to dry at home damaging next year's harvest "Those people cutting off seed heads are idiots" said Walker Lloyd Steven's brother Richard a verified seed expert can identify seed just by the smell Sometimes black lights are used to help identify varieties of sage if the smell method doesn't work Each variety reflects its own particular color It takes an expert to determine if the seed is valuable in variety and quality All in all the story behind Sanpete's seed industry is nothing short of historic What the future holds is unpredictable Regulations are ever changing and what happened back in 1903 to ranchers is now happening to seed collectors For good or for worse the feds are actively mits requiring harvesting per- are tightlipped companies As a reporter if you ask them
