What a great idea!

So people on here are against the seed tax but support this? ITS THE SAME THING. You're surrendering. Becoming serfs. You're entrepreneurial spirit is dead. Bayer can shove this idea up their ass and get bent.

I was trying to be sarcastic actually.

Sarcasm is sometimes hard to pick up in the printed word....although hobbyfarmer is a master of it...

Ya they forgot to mention what benchmark they are starting from if they double the price and you lose your crop then you pay what would have been the original price but if you get a whopper you pay double for seed?

I pay some rent on a percentage of gross.
His rent has never fallen below $50.
And the sky the limit on the other end.
$150.
You will lose every poker game you play when you have to pay back a % of the pot.
You need all profit from 2 pots to pay blind on the other 8 hands.

Who is going to police your percentage being correct??
System making crooks of us all.


A true, free, market on seed sounds like a pipe dream.

In canada it is a pipe dream because the open market information isn't available....and prices for our product are based on a US subsidized market..it can't work unless you like using equity.....

I missed that. But thanks. It was more of a warning shot anyway.

Bayer is not into grain marketing are they? Would suggest they want a closed loop with this programme eventually meaning they want you to sell to them as well
