Wisconsin ag officials say they are getting many online reports from people receiving unsolicited packages of seeds from China. Ag Secretary Designee Randy Romanski says, “We’ve gotten more than 500 complaints thus far just on that (online reporting) format, and there are other places where there are complaints coming as well.”
Romanski tells Brownfield they are working closely with USDA’s Animal Health and Plant Inspection Service to investigate the source of the seeds, and he’s continuing to urge people not to plant or open the seed packages.
