Hi there I'm new and asking a question.
I'd like to know if it is going to become illegal to save our own seed on a small holding?
How will the new seed marketing legislation comin into force on 1st April 2011 effect smallholders
If it is a protected variety then it seems not according to various legislation??? Is that correct?
