"It sounds like you are looking for organic seeds. Each state has a different definition of ‘Organic’ in it’s state code. So be sure to understand what may be organic in one state, may not be in another."

I don't want homosexual GMO seeds.

Based on your answer, it is apparent you do not understand what GMO seeds are. I do not need my State to tell me what its definition of organic is. Like some bureaucrat would know. LOL

Aren't all seeds created by God, organic?

"In Iowa, I believe soil MUST NOT have had commercial herbicides and pesticides used on the soil for 3 years before a field can grow certified organic produce. (assuming, of course, that organic seed is planted to this field)"

Based on this statement, a GMO seed would pass the "organic" test. Just grow them on untreated soil and voila! organic, all natural veggies.

Oh, I understand 100%. I grow seed. I sell seed. I UNDERSTAND.

So you think it would be just fine to have NO organic standards? So somebody could just go out and harvest seed, put it up for sale, and label it organic,, eventhough it isn't organic,, you think that would be okay?

Don't sell your state gov't officials short. Your state Dept of Ag has knowledgable people who are dedicated to labeling seed factually. I'm not much on gov't mucky mucks, either. But someone has to be the watchdog. And someone has to be authorized to hold dishonest seed sales to account.

Not if they've had commercial herbicides and pesticides used in the growing process.

B I N G O ! ! ! Not many people have figured that loophole out, but you did!! If you have a list of GMO vegetables seeds available for commercial sales, I'd appreciate receiving it.
