deals with farm seeds -- cotton, soybeans, etc. Don't get carried away
saying that saving your home garden seeds will become illegal. D&P doesn't
deal in garden seeds that companies like Burpee, etc, do.

While I was growing up in Ark, we never reused seeds, but there were some
farmers who did. The problem of reusing seeds is when it is done for too
many years in a row. Then farmers run the risk of getting progressively
reduced yeilds, and possible inferior seeds, susecptible to disease, or
carrying over diseased seeds to the following year, etc, etc.

Please drop this thread, it has no place on the Chile-Heads list......
