What must persons engaged for hire to clean crop seed obtain?

Persons engaged for hire to clean crop seed must obtain a permit from the commissioner for each portable seed cleaner because it is essential to ensure compliance with state regulations regarding the handling and processing of agricultural seeds. The use of portable seed cleaners can involve specific operational standards, ensuring that the seeds being cleaned meet both quality and safety standards set by agricultural authorities.

Obtaining a permit helps the commissioner monitor the activities and operation of these seed cleaners to mitigate risks such as contamination or improper handling practices. This requirement is crucial not only for maintaining the integrity of agricultural products but also for protecting the interests of farmers and consumers.
