Seed Synergy

As others have stated this needs to be opposed every inch of the way. It is sickening how big business is the chum of big government all the time. How many paid lobbyists do farmers have?

[SASKFARMER3]

virtually no one stands for farmers.

They want us to do all the work get paid pennies for our product because that's the market yet charge so much that we just have enough rope not to hang our selves.

It's sick.

[the big wheel]

It has to start by some of you not blindly supporting one party or the other based on other issues such as oil or wages. We need to be about us and our issues.

When we hand the keys to the conservatives sask party they know they don't have to do anything for us. And the liberals are pissed off at us so they don't do anything for us either.
Yet we're so proud we voted for the opposition and even if they get in they don't do anything anyway.

Maybe all those check off dollars should just go to making everyone aware of eg hose job and the threat of foreigners owning all the ag in the future. Because that is a very real and very serious threat.

heres a new check off we need; "fund to facilitate the formation of a new country , western canada " , bet the oil co's would gladly kick in also , potash, uranium , etc. , would be more than happy also??
and like vicky said (i think?) "the minute quebec has to start paying into transfer funds , the program will be scrapped . there is only one solution to this ugly mess

Farmers will complain, but then buy all the new varieties because it may give a 2 bushel advantage over their neighbor. Complain about the price of seed some more and wish there was seed available they could reseed.

SeedSynergy knows this. They know you can't help yourself, you will just buy it. Its an absolute marketing certainty for them. Complaining is free, but seed makes money.

Reread this post in 7 years.

I would like to know who decided to reclassify all the cwrs varieties to the Dark northern class....

Last fall the elevator couldn't tell what variety I was delivering....

All they knew was that it had protein.

My guess would be CIGI and the CGC with encouragement from the chemical and seed industry's 😉

This is why ag industry donates to both political parties... issue comes up and nobody objects because no one is gonna bite the hand that feeds them.... slam dunk. The best part is a simple donation eliminates competition in ag, keeps the patents in place and retains total control while grower groups are too busy arguing ideology to ever agree on anything. We need to crash to reset.

In this discussion right now on Twitter. Being stated that the industry is driver. Who is the industry? CGC has said that farmers are a supplier to the industry and that customers complaints are unfounded and CGC only maintains what the industry wants. So is the industry the seed companies or the marketers that is the only ones left in the chain.

wmoebis' quote ".........and that customers complaints are unfounded...."

Interesting.

What are CIGI's findings and opinion?
