New Canola on the way?

AHHHH, the continuance for the effort to produce more more more. So we'll save 20 bucks on nitrogen, spend 15 more on seed, and we'll produce 20 million tonnes a year worth 3 dollars a bushel less than it is now. Sounds excellent.

Where the he#$ is That Ken gowdy when we need him?

Good find but didn't a guy at edmonton have similar results a few years ago. I agree with furrow they will give us just enough rope so we won't hang us. Or bayer and monsanto will buy and then really screw us. Once we let go of seed rights were pouched.

If it takes off canola acres would most likely sky rocket leaving even more stocks, hopefully more use, hopefully not to low a price, best part is we can screw the N manufacturers here. How do we keep this company out the hands of Monsanto or Bayer??? Can we not band together and buy this company???? Think about the possibilities and advantages this can create and competition. We could even sell patent rights to Monsanto and Bayer or tell them to screw themselves of course we would make our technology so expensive they would not make much profit.

If this is proven, how about the Canadian Canola assocaitions buy the tech for Canada, and let them sell it to US buyers/globally. Creates an advantage for us (let seed companies integrate it into their varities for free use/not real sure about how this is done) and let other countries charge for it.

Good idea Dave, that is about the only way we will ever see a real benifit from this kind of canola tec.

This technology was developed at the
University of Alberta. Arcadia acquired it
and subsequently licensed the technology
to Monsanto in 2005.
