Yes, well worth it IME. Farm saved doesn't have lots of costs associated with certified seed e.g. inspections, wastage, haulage to & from seed pants, rejected seed etc etc

I can't remember what the roaylty price per tonne is. @Barry

I've just looked and its on a per ha basis about £9 for spring barely is this correct

Farm saved is £48.56/t

Why would you even consider paying royalties on grain from your own heap?
Just use it and keep quiet.

Well if people like you would pay the royalties then the rest of us seed processors wouldn't need to pay full royalties on the varieties we grow for seed.
Well, well stuff you

So why encourage others to break the rules when some of us have to play by the rules to grow and process seed?
Up yours an all

I suppose it depends how much you're growing. If it's just a few acres I'd Jfdi. If a heck of a lot then I might consider paying but at almost £50 a tonne it's bloody expensive!

We're paying between £93 and £97/t for the privilege of being a seed grower. Wish to Christ it was £50/t

Royalties should be paid on harvested crops not sown crops.no crop no fee .

What ever you do, don't admit it on here, as the seed police are watching and will track you down.( I'm not joking)!

I always pay royalties and have no problems in the system , we need the new varieties coming through the system and this helps the breeders and I live in hope that one day we will get a variety that won't need a fungicide every 3 weeks. , I also live in hope that one day our red marl will turn into easy working soil !!!!!!!
