(d) To seed grown, sold and delivered by a producer on his own premises to the purchaser himself.

(2) No person shall be subject to the penalties of KRS 250.111 for having distributed seed which were incorrectly labeled or represented as to kind, species, and subspecies, if appropriate, variety, type, or origin, which seed cannot be identified by examination thereof, unless he has failed to obtain an invoice, genuine grower's declaration, or other labeling information and to take other reasonable precautions to ensure the identity to be that stated. A genuine grower's declaration of variety shall affirm that the grower holds records of proof concerning parent seed, such as invoice and label.
(3) The director may by administrative regulation omit the requirement for variety designation on labels of seed kinds not commonly sold by variety name.
