Re: Got your corn seed?
I don't have any real personal first hand knowledge, but in general terms, it is quite possible to believe it. Corn seed that the big huge farms plant is all patented, etc. They can't save seeds from last year, they are on the hook to buy them new every year. Genetically modified hybrids plus patents. Any seed they save won't be much good, plus illegal for them to do it. They got themselves into it by aligning with the likes of Monsanto and the banking industry in order to farm. Open pollinated seed users don't have this hassle. Of course, droughts and floods can hit any farm, that is always a variable and a lot of areas experienced those this year.
