Jazz in your response that you have a choice, not to seed a particular canola.
What choices do you have ,, please list the Canola varieties less than 25 years old you have a right to seed.
That is the problem, even Quest the first RR canola , what 30 years ago. Nope
We signed use agreements ,
It really matters not if the patent has expired, you have never owned it.
We Only purchased the right to plant it for one season.
It is not yours to plant even 30 years later. And all seed will be like that soon.
I have no problem with rewarding innovation,
But off patent varieties must be accessible.
You can see how removing all other choices affects the price they get for the newest ones.
Once the big guys rid the system of any breeder not willing to play the game.
Look out 60$ /acre wheat seed here we come. Then canola can be 120$
What is to stop them, if you do not have ownership of even a 30 year old seed .
Pay up or don't plant, anything.
If you have any public breeding left , I would be inclined to keep it, even if what they have
Is not the greatest.

It wasn't a like. I was trying to reply. Anyhoo if you reread Jazz's comment. He said you can choose not to grow canola period. No mention of choosing a particular variety.

There is lots we can do to starve the beast sawfly, we just arent desperate enough yet. But that day may be coming.

If big biz and govt align to drain wealth from this industry and distribute it to the needy, you can bet I wont be going for big yields anymore.

Not grow canola period.
Well that is an option, but 10 20
Years from now your only Choice may be
Brandon wheat ,whatever. If it is still acceptable
To buyers then. Or some fungus has not attacked it.
Or you can find seed for it.
Then you kinda have a choice , rather than
Full retail on whatever they are offering.
They do not vac a bin , they have invested
Zero in land , they never set foot on the place.
Never got dusty once. And with some seeds
You are replicating their seed for them.
They with the govt.s help just collect the money.
Even at port
Bypassing tom and crew that thought they would
Cash in when farmers had to buy certified every year.
They do not need you Tom. They do not give a crap.
I think he finally figured that out.

They will get their coin. Anyway, Sorry.

I truly think this is a dangerous path for consumer
And producer alike to legaly introduce a third party
That owns every seed on the planet.
No no no no no no no
It is just wrong
