    How many farmers seed certified seed on every acre? If you are a beginning farmer with say 1500 acres are you suppose to go buy certified seed for every acre to start out with the first year?

        Yep, the farmer is the whipping boy. Give them an inch and they will take it all.

          Because it has always bugged me that seed growers can turn around and sell grain that doesn't make seed spec or even left over certified seed into commercial markets but not the other way around. If they can't sell there seed at certified price and are willing to take commercial price, they should sell it as seed at a cheaper price to guys wanting it.

                So what is everyone's thoughts on the groups that are promoting the taxes and why aren't they getting called out? Some might have the ears of some very influential people and offices even Gov't.

                    Seed people can make promises to politicians like board seats or as a lobbyist. ....

                    No one listens to a 55 year old farmer with 40 years experience....no one.

                      I have met Lorne....I don't think anyone can have a bigger ego, pretty sure he thinks he is a navy seal of the seed industry
