Who is exempt from annual registration under FAC 52351?

A grower conditioning seed for their own use is exempt from annual registration under FAC 52351 because the regulation recognizes that individuals who are processing or conditioning seeds solely for their personal use do not engage in commercial activities that necessitate formal registration. This exemption is rooted in the understanding that these growers are not involved in selling seeds to the public or for profit, thus reducing the administrative burden for small-scale operations that are limited in scope and impact.

In contrast, other options involve individuals or entities engaged in broader commercial activities, such as selling seeds, which typically require registration to ensure compliance with agricultural standards and regulations aimed at protecting consumers and maintaining market integrity.
