I had heard about this. Fedco published information on their site and how they had dropped some of their best sellers because of the Evil M taking over those varieties.

This is truly scary!

Baker's Creek still is monsanto free! I have almost exclusively bought from them for this next season... Thank you for making Monsanto more publically exposed than before.

Thanks for posting this! Should serve as a great reference for me to cross check things when I order my seeds this year. Every year I seem to save more and more of the varieties I grow, but I always get "seed fever" and end up buying a bunch as well.

GRRRR, I'm both mad and dissapointed. Territorial Seed Co, where I got all my seeds this year, signed the GMO free pledge but still sells Monsanto seeds. Heck, two of the names on the list are in my garden... Red Sails lettuce (I hope it's not the Round-up Ready one!) and Early Girl tomatoes. Heck, even our local newspaper recommended Early Girls as one of the few good producers for my climate.

Anyone know a good producing early variety tomato that works in the PNW that ISN'T owned by the big M? Shoot me an email or post on my blog. Thanks!

I will have to mention my displeasure with Territorial next time I talk to them... not that the clerks care. BTW, I discussed it in my blog a bit tonight I was so mad, and linked folks here. Hope you don't mind.

Thank you for the information Julie, I had no idea and am looking into it right now!

Olá Paulo,

Can you send me a link or your NGO contact in Portugal?

I just read this in one of the articles:

" In 1997, Monsanto began to insert its Roundup resistant gene into one of Seminis’ lettuces"

I had no idea that there was also RoundUp ready lettuce!

But surely, these seed varieties whose names you've published are HYBRID seeds - the product of industrialised seed production which was and continues to be designed for the purpose of creating dependence on the provider of those seeds.

Anyone who is truly concerned about global food security and the independence of the citizen will only purchase OPEN-POLLINATED seed which cannot be patented etc.
