Hi all,
IMHO you get together with other Heirloom farmers and sue the seed
companies first for contaminating your stock of unmodifed seeds. Make
it a big class action suit. Find a hardass lawyer who will persue it
with righteous vengence and bring these corporations to their knees.
Remember it's their genes contaminating your stock not the other way
around.

Hi Keith and Doug and All ;
Respectfully, you are absolutely correct that you can
still by seeds that are "heirloom". This is the
present time. What is frightening is the direction
that the planet is headed.
How long before these "heirloom" seed suppliers are
bought by the agro giants? How long before some gene
sneaks into the "heirloom" verieties and patent
infringment money is due? What to do when two
different genes from two (or more!) different
companies are in your crop? You'll be sue'ed from
every direction.
Respectfully we all need to wake up. It will not be
long (like 100 years) that ALL life forms (including
animals) will be patented. Anyone think that this
will guarantee "quality"?
Governments need to invalidate ANY and ALL patents on
life forms. And while they are at it they should make
it illegal to sell seeds which bear sterile seeds.
Best Regards,
Peter G.
