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 ?Last edited by bucket; Jul 27, 2018, 08:37.

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....

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

It's almost hard to believe to what depth the Industry will sink. Is there no shame in unfettered Capitalism. No guilt?
UPOV91..."the right for Producers to use farm saved seed...."at an additional cost to the original purchase"?
Do you have to send Sony a cheque every year to continue watching the tv they built? Do you pay the auto makers a yearly fee to drive the vehicle you bought?
Where does this horse shit end?
So does that mean you might have to give them money to use farm saved seed AND pay royalties upon delivery of the grain you grew? The first part seems to be a stretch...and hard to police. But if they float the idea of doing both but only enforce delivery royalties you will think you got a "deal".
But I do want to add two more words to my original thought...
**** OFF greedy bastards.Last edited by farmaholic; Jul 27, 2018, 22:14.
