Plant Breeders’ Rights and Farmers Know the New Rules!

[SASKFARMER3]

Right on furrow! I just don't get why farmera think it won't happen!
Who gives a shit if you can seed your own if it's only good for feed! Oh they will buy at a steep discount or feed! Then blend it back in with the new shit varieties!
One group continues to win and one divided group loses out! Can you guess which one is the farmers!

Pity you guys weren't awake to this 3 years ago when there was one farm organisation concerned about, and fighting it. Too little, too late complaining about it now, its a done deal. And you always complain there are no leaders or no organisations with vision.

Sask, 10 years ago it was perfectly legal to do as you said. Pretty simple for even the slow ones like you.

[SASKFARMER3]

Tweety I think most farmers are thinking like me, maybe it's really you who is S L O W! Your becoming s troll tweety!
Again for the rest watch out on seed deals from here on that's all the thread is showing!
Time will show that the farm saved seed for personal farm use doesn't apply!

[tweety]

The only right answer is the one that confirms your nauseating incessant whining?

[SASKFARMER3]

Did you even read the thread!
It's about the new rules!
Genius!

Your paranoid sk3, everbody is out to screw you. That's all you ever say, you know what? Life is pretty darn good in western canada. Farming must be good for you, you go on a lot of vacations. Or are you just the biggest bullshitter in western canada?

[SASKFARMER3]

It's a thread on the new seed act. Read
Gee it's not about me.
Yea farming is so perfect.
Trust everyone they are working for you.
Bull shit their all looking out for them selves, first then you.

What happens when the grain companies get together with the seed companies and say MR farmer yes you can save your seed no problem but not with this new super #2479 variety that we created. See we will only buy it from you if you buy certified seed every single year. No were not purchasing other varieties as market doesn't want them. Sorry that nice hard red spring you have is feed. Ah we will buy it for feed though no problem. Our new variety is 2 dollars bushel better return than your feed.

This is a question about new rules of the seeds act?

Not in the least, the option has always been there. Don't sign the contract.

Tweety, as soon as you start having your name written on the bottom right of the cheque instead of the middle top line you will change your tune.

Over & Out

Tweety - soon you will have no choice .
I agree that farming here in western Canada is the better of many other areas, or was until now but something smells with this - JMO . Not whining , just observing from 22 years within the seed business where I sold canola for $1.50/lb now $12 plus . It will happen with all other seed you wish to plant within 5 years - I will bet a bottle of rum on it.
I can see my and your on farm seed costs tripling in that time period . If my net returns triple - not a prob but If you think the risk of farming is getting high now - just wait .....
Tom is beating his drum on railways now , but he knows full well his farms future will prosper immensely with UPOV 91 at the expense of your farm shortly. Your overall seed costs will tripple at least.

It's a clasic case of don't look here , look over there at those bad guys - why do you think he is not pointing fingers at line co's ? ?? They will be a big part of his future meal ticket . I could be wrong , but I will gladly pay anyone a bottle of rum in five years time that proves me otherwise.

iceman, i find it interesting that you and others feel that if a farmer is making money, ships grain in a timely manner, and makes money, they can't be a farmer.

Word of advice. Change how you do things so you are profitable. Or do something else.

Do you and sask have to dream up the most horrible future possible and fixate on it? Do you feel that powerless?

Tell me one good thing UPOV 91 will do for your farm?
