No a more On Farm Seed Treating

[oneoff]

And I too say "just where are those local seed treaters"......now and in the future.

Thats not part of the plan.

I don't understand where the call for this regulation comes from. Is there rampant abuse of the system? Are these products entering the food chain? In my experiance the answer is an emphatic NO.

So what is the real reason for this bureaucratic ball and chain???

Oneoff, you're right about the anecdotal info. Lignohumate works for us (we believe). I urge anyone considering using it to do their own research and draw their own conclusions.

....its a form of political patronage. Pure and simple.

When you read the "ip contract" for that vegetarian chicken feed; you will find that lack of seed treatments is only the first of a long list of agricultural chemicals, herbicides and pesticides that you just forfeited if you want into that potential market.

As well as any "photosanitary" or other particular concern of those end customers this is designed to appeal to.

Seed treatments end up in or on the soils. Not sure if a small spill occurs there should even be an issue.

At the cost of treatments can't imagine anyone not taking extra care while treating.

[Braveheart]

Coleville, it is likely an extension of the new business school thinking. You know, "add value", "another revenue stream", "billable hours", "up sell the customer" and the like.

I'd like to turn it and apply those principles to our farms.

Braveheart, other than removal of the CWB shackles, what other "legistlation" has been put forward "for you" to accomplish what you've just explained?

[farmaholic]

Where's your guarantees?

Brett Young Seeds opens a new seed treating facility , coincidence?
