Just say no to GM wheat!

China is transgenic rice by the way.

Pretty hard not to believe the trffid issue wasn't intentional when the seed growers had close to a decade to solve the problem and farmers get less than 3 months to find seed for next year.

Was it a scam - I am beginning to think so. I know people that have grown Bethune flax for 4 years and kept it on land that never had flax and its showing up. No sense to it all. And the testing takes forever.

The credibility of the present system is zero and deserves to remain there. I have seen no attempt at giving any chance of input from the sector of farmers that are shouldering the entire brunt of what must be a whole series of blunders.
We are still set up for repeats of history; as the seed development and monopoly growers complete their control plans for the world seed supplies.

Isn't it convenient that the CWB has ready made postcards (I think he said with prepaid postage) so we can side with the CWB on any given issue. There's no need to think; just put your X at the bottom somewhere. Talk about needing to be spoonfed. Its no wonder that after long term exposure to this practice; that most people don't even attempt to even express their own thoughts.
For this reason I suggest it is wise to wean from spoonfeeding at the earliest age possible.

Saying that Triffid flax was intentional is completely
false. What purpose would that serve? Who is
benefitting from this Triffid flax issue besides the
GM testing lab.

Farmers must buy certified seed, breeding
programs are scrambling to ensure pure lines,
growers are now under further testing and costs
and the industry has export issues. May I ask in
your conspiracy theory who exactly is benefiting
from this? Do you honestly think that the seed
industry or anyone else would tank the flax market
to sell certified flax for one year? Sorry I think that
most people do not buy into your accusations and
realize that it is nothing but an inflammatory finger
pointing remark.

We only have to buy certified seed for one year Shaney?

Bucket.

I think you must have struck a chord with the guy that didn't have any time to spend with the peasants on the other thread.

Shaney.

What I suggest you do is send a boat load of certified flax seed to the EU, and let them tell the Canadian farming peasants if your seed propagating society passes mustard? Until then, I have no confidence that your group's seed is any better than my own.

[checking]

OH!, oh!, said mustard - don't want to go there. Correction - muster.

Does anyone find it amazing that the EU testers can find things before the guardians of our seed supply?

If you don't want GM wheat, you will need to support the CWB.

They are the only reason GM wheat is not grown anywhere in the world right now (with the exception of some freaky scientist's basement.)

I'm not buying your logic cc of CWB. I do, however, believe you got up to pee!!!
