Oklahoma Foundation Seed Stocks Inc. was organized and incorporated as a nonstock, nonprofit corporation under Oklahoma law in 1950.

Located at the Oklahoma State University Agronomy Research Station in Stillwater, Oklahoma, OFSS was initially a subdivision of and supervised by OSU. In 2009, OFSS’ corporate status was dissolved and the company was absorbed into the OAES.

OFSS is committed to increasing and distributing of new varieties released by the OAES, maintaining the pure seed stock of older OAES varieties, and increasing and distributing crop varieties developed by other organizations but are adaptable to Oklahoma and released jointly with OAES.

OFSS is fully self-supporting. Revenue is received from the sale of seed and services provided to growers.
