“Seed licensing laws”? There is no such thing, doesn’t exist. There is patent law which for plants is 20 years, no execeptions which has remained pretty much unchanged since established. Perhaps you mean the licensing agreements written into the seed purchase contracts, which are are not subject to lobbying efforts before congress.
You should buy a vowel or a clue or something.
PVPA is seed licensing. And title 5.
I know what I am talking about.
Wheat seed is not patented, at this point they are not GMO.
I don’t know who you are, but it makes no difference.
Plant Variety Protection Act.

And it is more complicated than just the act.
Syngenta hired the top seed breeder from K-State (Riley Sears) and from Texas A&M and partnered with both universities. They subsidized the program, Syngenta’s lawyers took care of legal actions.
They wanted to be baby Monsanto.
Since then Syngenta sold to a part of the ChiCom Government.
So, question is, what kind of partner is this for the Universities now?
My family has owned/operated farms in this county since 1889. Long enough?
We have produced Certified planting seed under contract for many years. We no longer deal with Syngenta. It is unclear at this point whether we will continue long term. It is not a simple matter and droughts and mother nature further complicate it.
Yes, the POLs are bought.
Correction.
We never have dealt with Syngenta, we quit A&M as seed source after that change took place.
We did deal with Mr. Watley in Spearman for a variety of seed he produced from A&M.
