"Is OGI Membership Right for You?"

In order to purchase Foundation or Registered seed or sell Registered seed for an OGI-licensed variety, you must be a member of Oklahoma Genetics, Inc. (Purchasing or selling Certified seed does not require OGI membership.)

If you answered "Yes," there are two types of memberships available:

• Full Membership - Full members are entitled to purchase either Foundation or Registered seed.  Beginning with the 24-25 membership year, the membership fee is $1,000 with annual renewals of $1,000 per year.
  
• Provisional Membership - Provisional members are entitled to purchase only Registered seed for the first year. Beginning with the 24-25 membership year, the initial membership fee is $1,000 with expected progression to Full Membership the following year.

Variety Fee - Beginning with the 24-25 membership year, there are no longer individual variety fees.  Membership includes access to all OGI-licensed varieties.  (There are additional documents required, however, if you are handling either of the Clearfield trait varieties (Doublestop CL Plus or Strad CL Plus.)

Full Membership - (1) You must have produced (not merely planted) a class of Certified seed (of any variety) within the last three years in Oklahoma or another state. (2) You must have "eligible ground"  (Regarding wheat, for example:  "Eligible ground" means EITHER the ground was free and clear of any wheat crop the prior year OR it was planted in at least the Certified class of the same variety you wish to plant.) (3) You must have followed through with the respective state's certification agency (in Oklahoma, for example, it would be the Oklahoma Crop Improvement Association).

Applicants who do not qualify for Full Membership would be eligible for:

Provisional Membership - Because you are only able to purchase Registered or Certified seed, this will give you an opportunity to establish yourself with "eligible ground" and proceed to Full Membership the following year.
