Dem rice farmers gat fuh plant de variety wah best suited to dem. If dem buss, dat is de risk dem tek. But nobody should tell a man what variety of paddy he should plant when he knows what is best for himself.
Dat is why dem boys wan know if we living in a dictatorship. De GEE R DEE BEE send out wan advisory telling dem rice farmer dem gat to only use certain varieties of paddy. Now de GEE R DEE BEE seh how if dem farmers nah use de recommended varieties, dem gan tek legal action against dem.
