No seeds can be re-used. What you are talking about is the reservation of a portion of the seed crop to use for the next year. Not a bad idea for the farmer, but not so good for the people who developed the insect resistant, mold resistant, drought resistant varieties etc. Naturally they are looking for more than a one time sale. How can you blame them? This kind of research is not done on the cheap. Now, any farmer who wants to forgo the advantages to be gained from other men's labor can use his own heirloom seeds. No problem there, but Monsanto and others are not charities, and to expect them to behave as charities is unrealistic to say the least.
If the wind carries GM pollen into my garden and contaminates my heirlooms, can I sue Monsanto like they can sue me?
I don’t want them to be a charity. I want them to stop taking control over what I can put in my mouth.
Cross polinatuon with GMO seeds renders heirloom seeds useless for the next planting.
I do not want a few companies having total control over all of my food.
