Being a thief... is just fine with you... Seed; grain transport restrictions

[dmlfarmer]

But what about bulk seed? That 100 bushels that I did not seed for one reason or another. You saying no one will ask questions If I was to sell it to a neighbor next year because I did not want to grow it again.

dm,

If you are a registered establishment under the seeds act, properly reported the carry over and regermed it... then yes you can resell the bulk seed. It is done every day.

[sawfly]

you want another crime.
how about our govt. selling off research to private interests.
now instead of paying a dollar or 2 once in taxes to breed a resistance into our crops.
much better to pay a corporation 4$ a year til the end of time, and still never get own or get free access to it.
that is Conservative business logic at it's finest.

you just can not wrap your head around that logic can you?

the list goes on and on and it is not about free Enterprise or property rights
at all.
it is corporate interests controlling the govt. and writing laws
that actually destroy the things above.

The trouble with things like this, is it is like the gun registry. How on earth can it be policed?

If John sells seed to Ted, who is going to know about it, and who is policing illegal sales?

So who do I have to blow to become a seed grower.

Waiting to hear about cow breeding technology.

[dmlfarmer]

So my point Tom, it was your argument stating a farmer could dig up and sell the seed he planted which was absurd since you just told me that unless the farmer was registered under the seed act he could not resell pedigree seed that he purchased but did not plant.

And, yet other than calling me absurd for wondering if equipment manufacturers would now have a precedent for calling for a technology fee on patented improvements from second owners, you have not explained why this is different or absurd.

[cottonpicken]

Good news my patent just went through on black angus breeding rights. Can't believe nobody patented that before. I'm going to be breeding bigger and better cows than ever before trust me you'll thank me.

[sawfly]

you could solve a lot of the resistance
if off patent seeds were available.
simple .
no matter how you paint it tom.
everyone on here knows how ugly this thing really is.
PBR and contracts void any rights you try to imply exist.

it is canola , all over and much worse because they, then ,control every thing

No need to blow anyone. You could grow ferried seed this spring if you want.
There's a few hoops to go through but if you are prepared to do that you could make all that easy money.
To become a select grower takes longer.

[SASKFARMER3]

Tom Tom tom! In a perfect world everything is lolly pops but this is survival! Giving a company etc. Total control till the day you die is outrageous!
Breeders screw up farmers pay!
We always pay!
Life time rights is idiotic!
Look at all the shit produced on cxnola is it worth anything!
Maybe this is their way to extract cash when all the housewives make us stop spraying etc. they still could get blood money from us!
It's ridiculous life time rights! Snd you cant see a prob. with that!
Wow those beer goggles are on to tight!
Or maybe alberta starts charging a fee of 5% because the crown once owned your land and they deserve a fee!

[bluefargo]

Stupid spell check. I meant certified seed not ferried seed

[TOM4CWB]

Sawfly,

No One can get PBR on varieties that are already released.

Seed can only be sold... by variety name... if it can be proven to be pure and what is claimed. hence if the audit trail cannot be produced assuring purity i.e. Authorised Establishment proof of containment and purity... then no claims SHOULD be made as to variety.

Must go to a meeting... have a good day!
