Posted some seed on a sales site online and get a response from this clown saying that the variety I am selling may be protected under plant breeders rights. I never posted a variety and listed it as common seed as I am required to do.
In his response it said that I had to provide the name of the variety I am selling via email or he also provided a phone number, or else I would be subject to an investigation.
I replied that I am not allowed to disclose the variety because it is illegal for me to do so, but it isn’t a protected variety under plant breeders rights.
Then get a phone call and the guy on the other end of the line is basically interrogating me to get the variety name out of me, as well as if this seed was grown under contract.
Why don’t these F’ers screw off already. I followed all the rules, and yet they want to make a criminal out of me. Sad the way ag is going. I am a young guy by farmer standards, and I already am disgusted with the leaches in this industry. Maybe they should farm it all, if they don’t want anybody to enter the industry. But then again, there is probably a reason these people aren't farming in the first place.
He should be ashamed to say that he grew up on a farm. I know that I am ashamed that he says he did.
