§ 266.101. Seed subject to seizure, when — proceedings — disposition of condemned seed.
Any lot of agricultural or vegetable seed found in the possession of a single owner or custodian and not in compliance with the provisions of this law shall be subject to seizure upon complaint of the director of the department of agriculture to the circuit court of the county or city in which such seed is located. Such seizure shall not be made until the owner or custodian of the seed has been given sixty days from the date of a "stop-sale" order to bring the seed in compliance with the provisions of this law. In the event the court finds that the seed does not comply with this law, it shall order the condemnation thereof, and the seed shall be denatured, processed, destroyed, relabeled, or otherwise disposed of by the court; provided, that either party may demand a trial by jury on any issue of fact joined in any such case; and provided further, that in no instance shall the court order such disposition of said seed without first having given the claimant an opportunity to apply to the court for the release of said seed or permission to process or relabel said seed to bring it into compliance with this law.
