    "Trailing farm-saved seed contracts"

    Interesting article in the last Western Producer on how seed breeders want to get some returns out of farmer's use of their farm raised seed. So apparently when we buy a protected seed variety we will have to sign a contract that might require us to either pay a royalty per pound on what we seed or on a per acre basis. Keep in mind this is all in the proposal stage but I have no doubt it is coming. What are everybody's thoughts?

    Well let's see....R&D got a good portion of the new CAP money.....someone been getting the freight overcharging. .....and I pay a checkoff on every ****ing bushel I sell that mostly goes to developing new protected varieties....

    And I paid for the flax breeders ****up a few years ago as well..


    Does that answer the question....


    Btw where is this so called ROI on all this ?

        I guess this would tie in to why a bunch of standard wheat varieties got delisted and farmers conditioned to paying for new seed.....

        Good thing the CGC is on board with helping those that already receive our checkoff funding and a good share of our CAP money....

          Maybe it is time to apply for the check-off dollars back. Help offset the extra costs.

            Tom4cwb has been a huge supporter of this for at least 3 years ..... one of the reasons he bailed on here ... some of us called him out .
            This is not going away . The cost of seed with cereals is about to go up 2-4 X at least.
            Thank Tom and his supporters

                    Can someone post the download link for the saskwheat refund form. They sure do a good job of hiding it on their website!
