Any farmer can become a seed grower. You do not have to be born a seed grower
One winter I was thinking I would like to become a seed grower
I went and talked to a few farmers who were seed growers
I got some info from them and I did some research online and that next spring I was a seed grower. For the first few years we did not have a cleaning plant so we got it custom cleaned at another seed growers seed plant.
Like JDgreen said it is lots of extra work and lots of extra costs. If you do the extra work and pay the extra costs you can become a seed grower.
