Reduce the Spread of Noxious Weeds

by requiring

Certified Noxious Weed Seed Free Mulch

Look for this label:

Minnesota Crop Improvement Association is designated under the Minnesota Noxious Weed Law as the official certification agency for Noxious Weed Seed Free Forage and Mulch in Minnesota.

Certification Requirements:

·  MCIA inspects production fields prior to harvest to verify that fields are free of noxious weeds.

·  MCIA issues certification labels to producers for bales harvested from qualifying fields.

·  Product traceability - certification labels are marked with unique serial numbers and identify the producer, crop type and field of production.

·  Certification labels are attached to bales prior to delivery - tags cannot be transferred.
