And they have done and are doing a bucket load of things to keep farmers and everyone else from having any access at all to buying, collecting, and saving of NORMAL seeds.<<<
This has worried me for years.
One of the Florida Universities had a group, it was Agricultural professors from all over the world, I got their mail for a couple years and followed some of the trials of the farmers.
This scares me and it is what pushed the growing of the old style plants, so they could save the seeds.
I think that it’s got to do with sticking to old standby’s for your garden. Things that our grandparents grew and ate because it kept well.
I’m looking into getting the Roma Italian Plum tomatoes and seeing how those seeds do. I hear they are non-hybridized.
Turnips are as well, as far as I know. Potatoes are easy.
I just got a catalog from Territorial Seed Company and I think they sell non-hybridized seeds. They’ve certainly added a lot of new merchandise this year. A lot of stuff like grain mills and yogurt makers. Things that I thought would be good for people interested in doing everything on their own.

There was a map at that site that shows the states that already have the law.
I’m off to work in a few - BB about 3:30.
My thrift shopping was fruitful the other day. I got a $180.00 Brighton handbag for $15.00 and a pair of shoes that still had the price of $80.00 for $3.00. :D
However, I am still looking for the food dehydrator that will be much more useful in the future. I have other thrift shoppers looking for me.
