>>>With the millions of seeds that are now saved, why is it that simple trading is not going on a large scale?<<<

Laws, Laws and more Laws....<<<

Which forces folks to find a way around them.

Seeds are often used in craft work, dyed and glued to a board to form a montage, so if I were you, all my seeds would be labeled, “For craft work”.

You have no control over what I do with them here.

Here, 30 years ago, I could sell my goat milk for pet food, so all my jar lids said in a bold black marker “For Pet use only”.

The lady who then owned our Health Food Store in Kingman, took a regular supply of it for her 2 little girls, also my baked bread, all for pet food of course.

She called me a few years ago, to tell me that both girls were in college and that part of them being there was due to being able to feed them my goat milk.

She did not want them on fake milk and they did not do well on cows milk, but did very well on goat milk for pets only.

We have to have all these laws on seeds, for if we go underground, it will hurt the ‘big guys’, guess the politicians feel they can’t run for election on what we could send them.
