34 to 1. That's the return @southern_seed0 Jake Ayre puts on public plant breeding.

Canada’s future in wheat innovation depends on sustainable investment in breeding, according to @canterraseeds. Fewer PBR applications = fewer new varieties and less R&D. Tools like VUAs can help connect farmer success with future innovation. hubs.li/Q04hq3tx0
