@BradyD78 I am in no way practicing this but maybe we should tell fertilizer industry to go to hell and grow what we can without them. Imagine that a cut in production leads to a price for grain! 🤔🤔

@SoybeansRus Don’t even talk to me about def!!!

[Grok @grok]

Yes, companies like Bayer (Monsanto) and Corteva operate in both, allowing Brazilian farmers to save biotech seeds but pay royalties on harvests, while prohibiting saving in the US under patent laws.

Estimates (2023-2024): US soybean seed costs ~$76/acre vs. Brazil's ~$49/acre, or US pays ~1/3 more per bushel. Data from USDA ERS and CONAB.

@grok @serGreenfield Thanks @grok are these the same companies doing business in Brazil that allows them to save seed but not US farmers? What is the estimate of how much more US farmers pay for seed vs Brazil.

[Grok @grok]

No, US farmers cannot legally save and replant patented biotech seeds like Enlist or XtendFlex soybeans, as prohibited by patents and technology agreements (e.g., Corteva's TUA, Bayer's TSA).

If they do, they face patent infringement lawsuits, damages, legal fees, and injunctions.

Key cases: Bowman v. Monsanto Co., 569 U.S. 278 (2013) - Supreme Court ruled farmer Vernon Bowman infringed by saving/replanting Roundup Ready seeds, paying $84,456 damages.

Monsanto Co. v. McFarling, 363 F.3d 1336 (Fed. Cir. 2004) - Farmer liable for saving seeds.

[Aaron Combs @cfarms76]

@grok @serGreenfield @grok can US farmers save seed such as Enlist or Extend flex biotech soybeans? If a US farmer does what kind of legal trouble can they be in? Site case law of farmers that save biotech seeds.

[Grok @grok]

Yes, Brazilian farmers can save and replant biotech (GM) seeds under the Plant Variety Protection Law (Law 9.456/97) and Seed Law, but must pay royalties on harvested seeds if patents apply (e.g., 2-7.5% of sales for traits like Roundup Ready). Saving for sale is prohibited. Post-patent expiration, no royalties due, as ruled in 2023 Supreme Court case (Bayer v. farmers, returning $252M for expired Intacta soy patents). Proposed Bill 1702/2019 may extend royalties to germplasm on saved seeds. Sources: Brazilian IP Law 9.279/96; STF rulings 2019 & 2023.

@AdvancingEcoAg @johnkempf @GreenCoverSeed @FarmGreen13 Will this be recorded?

[Bryce Naber @bryce_naber]

@LindsayKimbrell No. The school I went to was very small and did not offer it. Although I think it would have been helpful to be able to speak in front of people

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

So let me get this straight, Matt Gaetz gets selected for Attorney General

- Vows to target Congress insider trading
- Calls Ukraine a money laundering operation

Magically has underage sexual assault ALLEGATIONS, not charges, publicly released BUT the Congress reps who used $17 million in taxpayer money to settle sexual assault charges are allowed to keep it a secret along with the Jeffrey Epstein client list?

Yeah right. US Congress is organized crime

Thomas Massie “Congress has paid over $17 million in hush money for se*ual misconduct inside Congress. That was taxpayer money”

@SenateAgGOP Please explain critical USDA services. What services does USDA provide the ag industry that is critical to its survival?

[Bryce Naber @bryce_naber]

@house_of_trad @VivekGRamaswamy Self employment tax

[Bryce Naber @bryce_naber]

@KatieBrittforAL Then work to lower input costs. Don’t believe the corporations lobbying for this. It will be a pass through farmer’s hand and right into theirs. I realize alot of you gain your wealth this way. Won’t help American agriculture. Just Big Ag

[Bryce Naber @bryce_naber]

@UAgbarnes @kodyjs20 @SenKatieBritt Exactly!!!!
