Spring wheat seed?

[DanniAgro]

After failing to plant some of my winter wheat land, I’m still looking for 4 tons of spring wheat seed. I realise that it’s pretty late now to be trying to source some but is there anyone out there who’s got some for sale?
My farm’s on the Hereford/Glos. border.

I think Cope Seeds may have some…..try Gemma or Simon I’m sure they will be able help.

I would try Acorn Arable, Sam's pretty resourceful for finding seed.

Care to state this law ? shouldn't be difficult

Care to state this law ? shouldn't be difficult

Farm Saved Seed
The Plant Varieties Act 1997 underpins the breeders rights on a protected variety. The legislation can be viewed here:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1997/66/contents

“PBR shall not extend to the use by a farmer for propagating purposes in the field on his own holding of the product of the harvest which he has obtained by planting on his own holding propagating material of a) the protected variety [b…]” UK (9)

HMRC publish the regulations here:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/farm-saved-seed

Certified Seed
To sell Certified seed, that is seed bought from a seed merchant, you need a licence as per The Seed Marketing Regulations 2011. The legislation can be viewed here:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/463/made

“Operations requiring a licence from the Secretary of State

20.—(1) Any person carrying out any of the following operations must be licensed to do so by the Secretary of State—

(a)marketing seed;
(b)packing, sealing or labelling seed;
(c)re-packing, re-sealing or re-labelling seed;
(d)preparing mixtures of seed for marketing;
(e)cleaning, treating or in any other way processing seed intended for marketing.”

What a racket.

If the seed has been bought from an approved supplier initially then banning a farmer from selling off any surplus to a neighbour benefits no one but the seed trade.

Pity it’s not paid on a per hectare basis of crops grown then redrilling water damaged areas wouldn’t be quite as painful.

Royalties should be paid on SOLD produce not planting area

lost all our osr certified seed guess we have payed the levy now paying on spring barley seem's a bit unfair.

The industry isn’t weighted in favour of the farmer, it’s weighted in favour of people like @BSPB News who get paid twice with a failed crop.

My feelings exactly

@BSPB News have made millions this year from failed crops , it's almost criminal imo
