Agriculture is a business. Farming without a financial motive is gardening.

Or we can all rationalize the situation and be common cheaters (and live with lying to ourselves )and also take the risk of the chance of getting caught at the level of the current test sensitivities.
In all cases our food supply will have a little bit of everything in anything.

Ye, it will decimate organic farming in Canada if this continues.

But, the foodies who buy organic food have plenty money to buy any kind of food from any country. Organics was originally laughed at, you know that full well, so is not about style. It's always been about food safty.

There are a group of people who actually don't like the genes in their food laced with little surprises. Or unintended consequences. Many of these people are rich and educated. Many who worked in the biotech field bought food from our market barn on the farm. Yes, they did.

You see, it's about food safety, and as I said before, Canada has trashed their credibility. Starting with the governments, (CFIA and BSE, where was the apology from them?; or is Cameron Pallet's class action the last resort?), the universities (Foundation seed from Saskatoon's Crop Development Centre has been corrupted ages ago, but where is the apology or warning to farmers?)and seed growers themselves, who, at this point should have a press release sent out to conventional farmers at the very very very least.

Understand this: Too many people filling the chairs who are making the decisions about food safety in Canada simply don't give one tinker's damn about YOU or YOUR FAMILY or YOUR FARMS.They are not decent. They maybe wear a suit and get a per diem but they are not decent.

They are supported in high style by soley profit grabbers, fly by nighters who disappear into the incorporation-woodwork every time a bad choice bites them ion the ass, and the only thing they are interested in is covering their own asses.


They need to be accountabile and take responsibility for their actions. Theses people have cost Western Canada BILLIONS in flax alone if you consider future lost sales yet to be revealed.

The present people filling leadership chairs are not worthy of the average farmers' trust.

Contaminated breeder seed at the University for heaven's sakes....... Are they so stupid they didn't know? Hardly. Or did they hide the information. When Syngenta sent contaminated breeder seed to Europe several years ago, they were forced to pay a fine.

The Europens realized instantly, if Canadian BREEDER SEED was flawed, the science had to be flawed.

The science. Too much biotech science doesn't follow scientific rules. The science of cross pollination, oneoff highlighted.

The U of S/ Syngenta got caught.

That's why Europe put up a red flag. They knew they were dealing with either dummies or the devious. I say both. I say they are people who don't even realize that Nature can outsmart them every time.

The University of Saskatchewan has corrupt breeder seed because they follow corrupted protocol because they have managers who follow corrupt science, when I look at it with a farmer's eye. Farmers should and can call a spade a spade

And food will become corrupted so it is not safe. If you are so so naive as to think Canadians will be informed of unintended consequences or of dangerous test results, go get a "thinking alignment" because you have walked once too often, waist high in your freshly sprayed fields

I don't care what you concoct in biotech kitchers for industrial use.

But for food?

No.

Why would I want to buy food from you....?

Are you not proud of what and how you grow food... tell the story about why you grow their food... and the history of your farm?

Those who break this communication barrier... will change the way food is marketed... and the internet is the media to allow this to happen!
