Plant Breeders' Rights

Agree with AWC with the exeption of:
#1 should read: "No cost Farm-saved seed
must be part of UPOV91"

The way I read it (unless I've missed
something) they will be able to charge us
for the seed we save for seed.

Please show me I'm wrong.

Maybe the min of ag could explain to us
how this works without his minders behind
him. He farms 2500 acres in Rosetown and
in 2 years.. this is how it will be..

Australian example - end point royalty on GM canola - $13.20/mt. This rate as of 2012. Could be higher for 2013!

A tonne/acre on 1000 acres = $13,200.00 less the refundable GST which is included in the EPR.

Since 2001 there are 97 EPR varieties of wheat, 25 of barley, 16 of canola, 4 of milling oats...

[checking]

Missed some things there. 2002 was for barley, doesn't indicate start date for canola and oat varieties.
