Report mystery seeds to ag depart
The state’s Department of Agriculture has developed a website that people could use to report any mystery seeds they may have received in the mail.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture and state agriculture officials have issued warnings about unsolicited shipments of foreign seeds arriving at people’s doorsteps. To report those seeds, visit the website, https://arcg.is/149zC90.
The department’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services is working with the Department of Homeland Security and other federal and state agencies to investigate the matter.
Officials advise recipients to keep the seeds and packaging, including the mailing label, until someone from their state contacts them with further instructions. They also advise people not to plant the seeds.
