New York's Seed Testing Laboratory is moving from Geneva to Albany, State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball announced Nov. 7. The State’s Seed Testing Laboratory is run with Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at a new state-of-the-art New York State Food Laboratory in Albany. Commissioner Ball said, “Staff provide extensive and essential consumer protection services by testing foods and other products for purity, wholesomeness, and accurate labeling. By partnering with Cornell University to bring the Seed Lab to Albany and house it within our Food Lab, we’re able to offer additional efficiency in testing services to the agricultural industry.”
