In our area, such things as pulses and canola are two examples of things that have arisen from virtually nothing.
But actually, going back to the research funding, pulses have really made their success on check-offs that farmers have paid to do the research. Then they're able to keep those seeds in the public domain. That has always been a concern. If public money is being spent on seed, perhaps we should take a look at keeping it in the public domain, then, so that it's available.
