Abstract
In 2017, the federal government initiated national consultations for two new crop royalty systems that could be used to support additional crop breeding. In this study, we examine wheat growers’ attitudes towards breeding research and assess their inclination to contribute more to wheat variety development through checkoffs or enhanced royalties. We report a random effect probit estimation for a survey of 877 western Canadian wheat producers that took place from November 2018 to January 2019. We found at least 26% of survey respondents were willing to pay more to support additional wheat breeding. However, this support is contingent on the model for revenue collection and where additional revenue is invested. Producers generally favored increased checkoffs over enhanced royalty collection. Among the royalty options presented, the farm saved seed royalties mechanism had less support than the simpler to implement end‐point royalties mechanism. We also found support is much higher if new royalty mechanisms are used to support university or government programs versus private breeding programs. This result suggests developing widespread producer support for enhanced royalty collection may require broader commitments for funding, ownership, and control of crop breeding programs. En 2017, le gouvernement fédéral a lancé des consultations nationales pour deux nouveaux systèmes de royautés qui pourraient être utilisés pour soutenir la sélection de nouvelles variétés de cultures. Dans cette étude, nous examinons les attitudes des producteurs de blé à l′égard de la recherche sur la sélection et évaluons leur tendance à contribuer davantage au développement des variétés de blé par le biais de prélèvements ou de royautés améliorées. Nous rapportons une estimation probit à effet aléatoire pour une enquête auprès de 877 producteurs de blé de l'Ouest canadien qui a eu lieu de novembre 2018 à janvier 2019. Nous avons constaté qu'au moins 26 pourcents des répondants à l'enquête étaient prêts à payer davantage pour soutenir des travaux supplémentaires de sélection de blé. Cependant, ce soutien dépend du modèle de collecte des revenus et de l'endroit où les revenus supplémentaires sont investis. Les producteurs préféraient généralement une augmentation des prélèvements à des royautés améliorée. Parmi les options de royautés présentées, le programme « Farm Save Seed » a reçu moins de soutien que le mécanisme plus simple de mise en œuvre des royautés au point final. Nous avons également constaté que le soutien est beaucoup plus élevé si de nouveaux mécanismes de royautés sont utilisés pour soutenir les programmes universitaires ou gouvernementaux par rapport aux programmes privés. Ce résultat suggère que le développement d'un large soutien des producteurs pour une meilleure collecte des royautés pourrait nécessiter des engagements plus larges pour le financement, la propriété et le contrôle des programmes de sélection des cultures.
