I agree with all that is written and only common sense! but I thought this was about should a company stamp dates or not! lol I manufactured protein powders, green foods, and flaxseed oils for retail and wholesale and my products were sold in many health food stores throughout the U.S and the internet and without a doubt, it is all about when it is produced that counts! but if it is strictly an option for a company and not regulated in any way than I would settle for a date stamped than no date at all. Common practices (I would think) in the seed industry would be under a year for any honest trustworthy company, so that gives you a good idea on how old that seed is within reason, Just my opinion!
But now is the time for us Florida growers to be setting out our plants and I am way ahead since I got mine out on the 10th. Happy growing to all way down South!!
