Normally I prefer to purchase certified seed but certified pea seed is very expensive this year, so what do you guys think common seed will selling for this spring? Thanks.

Miquelon;

The extra cost of royalties and levies due on certified seed many times are over one dollar per bu.

This means total cost to be close to $1.50/bu over commercial prices, is where Certified prices will usually settle out at.

With good germ peas hard to find, the price is likely about $2/bu this year.

You may find that common seed is far more expensive than you think, compared to Certified seed. How hard have you looked?
