Plant Breeders’ Rights and Farmers Know the New Rules!

Contract was signed after - agreed won't do it again - but that's not the point . We would have never signed it knowing that we could not keep the seed.
So your the first to the trough on canola varieties though ? Sounds fishy lol

Actually no i do advancement plots before the seed is even registered. Then by the time you start doing trials i've done them for 2 years and its not bleeding edge.

I know you do lots of trials, look into it.

So why did you sign to not regrow the seed when you already had possession of the seed?

[furrowtickler]

Lol. again you ASSume - we do advancement trials as well for 2 years before they are avail to the GP. I would imagine we are talkin the same thing - or you were.

Oh look, we have the same size dick. Its easy to get caught up in the disresepectful slam culture of agriville.

What is scary are some are going straight to commercial with minimal field testing.

FYI, Furrow.

I have never grown CDC Go.
But it is a public variety that is royalty free and has no restrictions for sales... No PBR... open to all who want to grow it.

Sounds like many of the strong supporters of UPOV91 have all drank the Koolaid. Sounds to me that we need a viable public breeding program as well to offset the higher priced seed we know is coming.Australia used to have a lot of public breeders. Now there are only a handful of multinational seed companies.

Don't let the provincial wheat and barley commissions screw this up. They could own it all, easily, but are they too afraid to? I sure hope not.

They (commissions) will be the ones to blame 100% if this doesn't happen.
