Farmers haven’t ‘saved’ seed from previous crops for decades now. Seed is specially grown, with stains being cross pollinated for very precise seed quality crops.
That’s why yields have more than doubled in the past 50 years.
My tagline isn’t just an idle boast of the American Famer, it’s been true for more than 50 years.
You farm a lot?
We still save seed for replanting. It is the Monsantos of the industry that has driven the prices of seed up to where 100 bu yields wont pay the costs for raising the crop, and 200 will barely. Dont harp about the farmers, look at Monsanto and Pioneer and those people who drive the price of $3 worth of seed to over $100.
That specially grown seed is the genetic mutations that Monsanto is working so hard to protect. If they get this through, then Monsanto will tell you what you can eat.
