Pulse Levy refund

[sumdumguy]

So true Bucket. It's hard to believe that an industry can remain so transparent that anyone can participate in all aspects of this industry without restraint and with factual information. All you need is a pocket full of money to participate all the way up the chain. I was surprised to see some of the newer on-farm seed cleaning plants lately. They are state of the art built by plain old farmers, their families and friends. Thumbs up pulse industry.

So? What?
1-leave it alone
2-Make it refundable
3-reduce it and leave it non-refundable
4-reduce it and make it refundable
5-increase it ;-)

My vote would go with 3. Reduce it or 4. Reduce it and make it refundable. I suppose this will be voted on at Crop Production Show in Feb.

Because I have never asked for checkoff money back .... my vote is number 4.

The option should be there to ask for it back.

I could have it non- refundable
As some producers Don't realize the value we get from the pulse research done to improve varieties.
There is a reason land is $2000/acre in Palliser triangle -answer lentils

THey especially don't realize how lucky we are with the pulse Seed model compared to what will come down the line with Upov 91 (expect to see some CON politicians on high paying Board seats as payback)
