Ottawa plans compensation for farmers

Sumdum it is unfortunate the first to file first to patent law change enabled a protection time increase.

Regardless of what the new industry seed model will look like can farmers expect new seed technologies disease resistance etc but also not expect to pay for them ?

If u don't then AC Barrie et al are your go to varieties.

I think grain farmers are often jealous of the stability and good money that comes with SM and wish grains were the same way

Mustard that's total crap. Selling range for durim this past year was 12.50-16.00 on our farm. Under the board this would not have been possible as they would have done the same as always and presold 70% of the expected crop at Walmart prices prior to harvest.

The old cwb needed a different attitude and maybe some new people. New owners won't be their savior in the long run.

As for this government's record it really hasn't been that good for primary producers.

Better for everyone else living off the primary producer and getting better all the time.

I am not sure this is what I voted for last time.

Yes I can hold up my hand and say they duped me.

I just wanted an open transparent market. Vessel reports, forward sale info etc.

Stuff like that that is a given in the states.

The conservatives won't entertain the idea nor add a regulator to both the railways and graincos with real teeth.

Most of that stuff should have all been put in place by now. Instead they give some a million dollars to develop an app that has no value other than averaging prices for info only. Idiotic.

And pdqinfo hasn't updated any news since June 1 2015.

Seems to me alot has happened since then.

Makes you wonder how accurate the pricing info is.
