Miller: Public Breeding is a National Treasure That's Being Neglected

2 weeks ago | seedworld.com | Doug Miller

What do AAC Brandon, AAC Wheatland, and AAC Viewfield all have in common? They are the backbone of Canadian wheat production, bred by public institutions and planted across millions of acres in Western Canada. They are also important examples of something we don’t talk nearly enough about: Canada’s public plant breeding system. It’s the foundational force, the silent insurance policy, and now, seemingly, the forgotten workhorse of Canadian agriculture.
No Longer Business as Usual

The election was seven months ago. Yet I am grateful to former Mayor Karla Brown and former Councilmember Valerie Arkin for attending the May 20th Pleasanton City Council meeting. They reminded us why we voted against Measure PP and for new city council leadership. Last summer a city consultant crafted the Measure PP sales tax increase campaign. A pre-election poll suggested that it would pass with about 58% support.

SEATTLE -- If the Rangers are going to get back to where they want to go in the American League West and beyond, they’re going to have to solve some messy Mariners math. Texas once again lost to Seattle on Sunday afternoon at T-Mobile Park, dropping a 3-1 decision that capped off a series sweep. It continued a confounding run of disappointment against the team from the Pacific Northwest over the last few seasons. The Rangers are 0-3 vs.

Todd Tobias’ letter (3/20/2025 edition) assembles some half-truths to create a false narrative about Pleasanton’s Measure PP’s defeat and the continuing drama. During the July 16, 2024, city council meeting, Jack Balch was the only city council member to oppose placing Measure PP on the ballot because he believed that we had two years to find a resolution to the projected budget deficit before we needed to resort to a tax increase.

Ichiro acted like he knew something everyone else didn’t, from the psychedelic, haute-couture street fashions he wore in and out of Safeco Field to the oft-cryptic platitudes he’d dispense through an interpreter after another 3-for-5 day at the plate. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound phenom from Japan seemed to have it all figured out long before he first set foot in the States in 2001 as a 27-year-old big league rookie. But being elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame?

Sep 15, 2024 | mlb.com | Doug Miller

SEATTLE -- The Rangers are winding down a season that has left them banged up and behind in the standings. The defending World Series champions are mathematically against it to play in October. But they are not giving up, and that attitude was evident in starter Andrew Heaney’s resilient outing in the Rangers’ 7-0 loss to the Mariners on Sunday afternoon at T-Mobile Park.
