Isn’t there also a company trying to patent natural seeds? This sounds like something the tobacco laws would expand. It’s to my understanding tobacco farmers can’t harvest the seeds. They have to buy each year from the government.

If food seeds are going the same direction, then wouldn’t this eventually be a way of controlling the food sources in America? In order for farmers to be allowed to grow food, they would have to purchase seeds each year from the government. Those seeds would be the altered ones that die if you try to plant harvested seeds from the genetically altered plants.

Corporations control America.
