As provided for in ORS 576.718, 576.721, 576.726, 576.729 and 72.3050 (1) to (3): (1) If the seed production or purchase contract does not settle the price of the grass seed, a reasonable price may be established according to a department survey of a representation of seed dealers and growers/producers for the purpose of determining a reasonable price at the time of delivery. (2) When the price of a grass seed kind is the “established price” pursuant to supervised price discussions as described in ORS 646.738, the established price shall apply. (3) When a disagreement over payment or timely payment stems from a disagreement between the seed dealer and the seed producer or grower over the quality of the seed of a contracted or purchased lot, the parties to the contract may engage in collaborative dispute resolution processes including the process specified in OAR 603-047-0500.
