Yep, the farmer is the whipping boy. Give them an inch and they will take it all.

Why are you bringing facts to the discussion?

sarcasm.

Because it has always bugged me that seed growers can turn around and sell grain that doesn't make seed spec or even left over certified seed into commercial markets but not the other way around. If they can't sell there seed at certified price and are willing to take commercial price, they should sell it as seed at a cheaper price to guys wanting it.

Friend got busted a few years back they bugged and bugged and bugged till he finally said what kind of Oats it was. Boom they went for the jugular. That was the last year he farmed he said it was a set up. Sick ****ers who always screw farmers. Wait till the seed tax they will **** us till we can’t farm at all.

So what is everyone's thoughts on the groups that are promoting the taxes and why aren't they getting called out? Some might have the ears of some very influential people and offices even Gov't.

Unipoor for farmers

Seed people can make promises to politicians like board seats or as a lobbyist. ....

No one listens to a 55 year old farmer with 40 years experience....no one.

I have met Lorne....I don't think anyone can have a bigger ego, pretty sure he thinks he is a navy seal of the seed industry

Yup. A legend in his own mind.

I see him replying to people when they are looking for seed on fb. Refers them to the seed guide. Problem is there is no interest by seed growers to grow some products and nothing is available within a reasonable distance. Another pencil pusher with no frickin clue.

Who pays his salary?
I’m guessing indirectly farmers?
