Harvested grain can only be used as farm-saved seed when it has been produced within the same farming business. By law, farmers cannot purchase or otherwise transfer grain from another business for planting.

All use of farm-saved seed must be declared to BSPB, whether or not the varieties planted are eligible for payment.

Payment for use of eligible varieties must be made to BSPB. Two payment routes are available:

• via your NAAC or BSPB-registered seed processor at a tonnage rate;
• direct to BSPB at a hectarage rate

If any farm-saved seed is not processed by an NAAC or BSPB-registered processor, or is sown straight from the barn, farmers must declare their use of that seed and make any payment due direct to BSPB.

Details of eligible varieties and payment rates are published annually by BSPB.
