I mean, they are leaders in genetic use restriction technology in crops. This runs counter to millennia of the farming practice of seed saving for very small farms.
That feels pretty bad guyish. Unless I'm missing something?
- bluGill 2y agofarmers want that. last years corn in this years field is a weed you don't want so if the corn won't grow that is good. No farmer saves seed as modern hybrids yield several times better but the children don't.
- pfdietz 2y agoYou're repeating more of the bullshit there. You're talking about Terminator seeds, which were never brought to market, and which don't do anything good old fashioned non-GMO hybrid seeds did (in preventing reuse of seeds.)
- pfdietz 2y agowhich hybrid seeds didn't do, I meant. The point is that hybrids don't breed true, so they nix farmers retaining and reusing seeds as effectively as Terminator seeds would.
