Sterile seeds?

No Bones

Hi Everyone. I have a major concern. I was talking with someone who read somewhere that the seed producers are working on genetic trying to produce seeds that will grow plants, but will produce sterile seeds, thus forcing us to have to buy new seeds every season. Is there any truth to this, anybody else heard this?

Well I’ve read that the big guys are doing this to farmers. Monsanto, companies like that, making seeds genetically modified to grow corn or soy but the offspring are sterile and the farmers have to buy new seeds every season. Also, the corn is modified to withstand large amounts of pesticides. I don’t know how this affects the individual with a garden, but anything organic is NOT genetically modified, so that’s a good rule of thumb.
