    I hate to preach doom and gloom but monsanto is buying up seed companies at an alarming rate, and they are the largest seller of GMO seeds in the world. I am afraid that groups like this will be the only thing saving heirloom seeds from extinction. maybe my fears are unjustified, if so, sorry for this post.

    they also own many more companies that have supposedly taken a "safe seed" pledge but we all know that money is the bottom line and monsanto will do whatever it takes to sell their product.
