Alberta Pulse growers do have access to many SASK Pulse Varieties... Peas, lentils, Chickpeas... and AB refundable levy DOES pay for that right to access this gene pool.
Select stocks are very expensive... so seed growers pay a big price up front to start with.
No system is perfect... including this one... Parsley is right... there is a big difference in funding legislation between AB and SK Pulse Commissions.
SK Pulse Crop Development Bd. is under Federal Legislation... AB. Pulse Growers is under AB Legislation regulated by Marketing Council AB Legislation.
Interesting that AB Beef Producers have a mandatory levy... and a producer vote continued/approved this levy not too many years ago!
Cattle Producers are more 'left' wing than many of them would like to admit!
