Wheat is wind pollinated, not by insects.

I am in the seed business, don’t like/trust Monsanto or Syngenta because of the way they do business.

GMO wheat makes no sense except to make it possible to “patent” life so they own all the species and you cannot save seed for replanting.

PVPA seed allows saving seed for replanting. And PVPA protection expires after 20 years.

Patented Lifeforms are forever. A stupid law that recognizes this.

Thank you Texas Fossil. I appreciate being corrected on the pollination topic and the other comments too. I agree with your position.

Exactly right. And the implications of this are that cross-hybridization as likely occurred in Oregon could recur anywhere where there is.... wind.

No patent is forever. Plant patents are good for 20 years, no renewals.

Stop spreading incorrect information like it’s truth.
