This article is over a year old and, unfortunately, we are no further ahead- it’s still relevant today. Hopefully one day I can read it and reflect on how far we have come towards building a sustainable variety development strategy for Canada.

Check out this video by @condiegenetics It does a great job of explaining how the VUA provides sustainable funding to breeding programs to ensure farmers have access to improved genetics in the future
Ever wonder how new seed genetics are developed? Variety Use Agreements (VUA) play a key role. By declaring seeded acres and paying a small fee, farmers directly support continued breeding efforts. That investment helps ensure stronger, better varieties for the future.
