There was a time (most of history actually) when "honest farming" also involved improving the crops you grow through selective breeding. That's how we ended up with the modern forms of staples like wheat. Now this activity is being portrayed as theft. I think the burden of proof is on strong IP advocates here. Prove to me that innovation would be stifled if plant patents were not allowed. Because all I see is a massive centralization of that innovation into the hands of a few gatekeepers that get to own the results.
