Lentil genetics paid for with farmer check offs were gifted to other nations...

But some of the countries on the list are chronically short of food and May be even more so with climate change. But let’s just think of ourselves first all the time and not worry about whether other people go hungry? And we have been using plant genetics from all around the world for our benefit for decades! Did we pay for all the free genetic material? Seems to me lentils originated in the Middle East. How did we end up being such important lentil producers in Canada? Where did the genetics come from?

I think thinking of Canadian farmers first should be a priority....we are giving our products away...

How dare you?

Do you think they were developing varieties for other nations

They were discovering new genetic crosses rather than thinking they were "creating" something. Did they set out to get rich from their work? Don't think so.

Wheeler and Slinkard both deserve their recognition in the Sask Ag Hall of Fame.

Plants belong to the world. As such, sooner or later a beneficial plant is not going to stay in one area. It will spread around the world to wherever it will bring benefits to those living there.
The point being made is a rather small group of farmers shouldn't be the ones helping to foot the bill to kickstart ag in some other part of the world. I agree

Maybe those countries will send some
back when the seed co.s get everything locked
Up here.
I am sure there will be a law against that too.
They cover all the bases

You ungrateful bastard. ....better?

Hahaha
