This has nothing to do with the gluten-free fad/trend or whatever you want to call it.

It about the gluten quality of the wheat. Wheat with low gluten strength makes shitty bread, it doesn't rise. That's all. No catering to anyone. Just keeping Canadian wheat to a high standard.

Oh and there's talk that the CWB knew about this for years and did nothing, even though it had the potential to ruin Canada's wheat reputation.

so tell me , if red water is a new variety , who in the f$&k let it get registered and why ???????????

While CIGI and CGC fiddled?

Remember we have the numbers. We can refuse to grow any varieties that have restrictions on onfarm reproduction for seed. Make your opinions known to your seed suppliers you maybe surprised how they may compromise when signing contracts. We have the power.

Also might discover how much money it actually takes to bring a new variety to market. Maybe not quite as much as thought? Otherwise why would the WGRF have $166M in fund balances at the end of 2016?
