It's registered for production. I have a number of varieties that are grown in the United States. When I first started my breeding program in winter wheat there was not any winter wheat being grown outside of southern Alberta. The U.S. was the main source of germ plasm for the breeding program, and all we're doing is returning the favour.
Climate does not change at the border. There's absolutely no way you're going to stop people from moving varieties back and forth, legally or illegally. So my philosophy has been that the best way to move these things forward is to go through the legal processes, which means the Americans are allowed to grow these varieties.
There's a second reason that I released these varieties in the United States, and that is that I was unable to move them into the milling market in Canada. The only way I could move them into any market in Canada was in the feed and fuel. They're going into the milling market in the U.S., and because they are accepted in the milling market, they can move back into Canada as food. We can't do that in western Canada.
