There's a major change in the law coming on 1/11/10 in Wisconsin, and it's sure to affect you. Beginning that day, anyone selling seeds in Wisconsin MUST have a label on the seeds that (among other things) identifies how many "weed" seeds are in there.
It's true: new section 94.39 of the Wisconsin Statutes mandates that you know how much crabgrass they're selling you:
94.39 Seed labeling requirements. Each label for agricultural or vegetable seed required under s. 94.385 shall be a plainly written or printed label in the English language, giving the following information: .... 94.39(1)(d) (d) Percentage by weight of all weed seeds.
Now, I didn't read the whole law, and my experience with farming is limited to "driving by them occasionally," so there's a chance that I'm misunderstanding this law, but if a law can't be understood by partially skimming it on a Saturday morning while waiting for your wife to get ready to go after-Christmas shopping, it's not much of a law, is it?
