- To serve as exclusive agent for all breeder seed and other parent material
distributed from the Oklahoma Agricultural
Experiment Station.
- To contract with individual growers for the production of Foundation Seed from
Breeders Seed.
- To rogue, harvest, and condition the seed stocks as to not mix or genetically
alter the variety.
