I remember cleaning and bagging seed at my folks feed store as a young boy. Also remember how Monsanto got a few farmers on the program, then threaten to sue the others. The crops cross pollinated with the GMO seed.
Did not like cleaning seed.
Most farmers hated Monsanto back then.

No, that is the absolute worst. Especially oats. Especially in good light so you could clearly see all that dust you were breathing.

Yeah but I see that as an issue with the stupidity of letting people copyright genetic sequences. Should the first guy who crossbred citrus plants and created the mutant lemon have been able to charge everyone who subsequently planted a lemon tree a fee? You can own a lemon tree, but you can’t own the idea of “lemon”. Once it’s out there in the world, it’s out.
