    Well at least we got something to show for the checkoff ransoms.

    This should work out pretty good long term for the researchers.

    Over & Out

      The good news is if it is on a research farm hopefully it can be contained easier and it will probably be fairly obvious where it came from

        Biggest thing will be where their equipment has worked in the past 8 months

          Too late, its everywhere well beyond the borders of the research farm.

          Just think of all the trucks, boots, rubber boots, mud, crop walks, mowers, harvest equipment, seeding, dust, wind, animals......

            Why all the secret on origin? Who's got what to hide?

              Good question, you would think others in the area would want to know so they can take proper precautions.

                Reminds me of Triffid flax. Protect the seed growers.

                  That would mean someone would have to accept resposibility.

                    I smell another charge coming to farmers to have all production tested at our expense and be liable if it gets into marketplace.

                    IE: Declaration of class of wheat and triffid free flax.

                      The latest info:

                      The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has confirmed the presence of Verticillium longisporum — a verticillium wilt pathogen — in a single plot at an undisclosed crop research location in the province.

                      Still no location revealed.
