U.S. Postal Service Is Urged to Stop Delivering Mysterious Seeds

State agriculture officials are urging the U.S. Postal Service to stop delivering the mysterious seed packages that have been arriving in mailboxes across the country, mailings that federal officials believe are coming from China.

Agriculture officials from several states have pressed the federal government to halt deliveries of packages that may contain the seeds, as states continue to be inundated by reports from people across the U.S. who have received them. Officials are concerned the seeds could introduce weeds, pests or diseases that could harm U.S. agriculture.
