Protect yer seed!

[J.T.]

Bad grammar aside, this is getting nuts. Monsanto and other lesser ag companies are making a move legislatively. FYI:

I don't see where Monsanto has done anything in the link you posted.

Heirloom seed banks could be cool as long as the contributors know what they are storing.

Its easy to cross pollinate an heirloom seed with a hybrid. Insects do it all the time.

BTW my garden tomato's are 100% certified heirloom. Best tasting tomato's I've ever raised.

Look out, Monsanto…oh, wait. This only applies to regular people growing vegetables. GMOs aren’t considered an invasive species. Sorry, I digress.

Growing your own food? I knew you were a rebel.

Dumb assed sod buster....

Monsanto has done it and is leading assault.

Protecting your seed will be useless, as M is pushing for only 'certified' growers. You will not be allowed to be in possession of or grow from your own.

One more thing to put me on a list for. I've been all kinds of things but an "agri-terrorist" is a new one and honestly I wish the moniker was not so cliche'. Can't it be something like "clandestine cultivation menace"?

We have been harvesting seeds from Last years vegetables to start plants for this years. Worked pretty good this year. Will see if it keeps going.
