Note: “Agrees of Disagreement - The parties differed in their perspectives on the future of the Wild Rice Breeding Program. Cultivated wild rice producers expressed an interest in traditional breeding to remain competitive with California. However, California has become less competitive due to water availability issues decreasing the feasibility of crops. The proposed California legislation to amend specialty crop funding, primarily benefiting California, could further erode their competitiveness.”
