Earmarked for Extinction?
Seminis Eliminates 2,000 Varieties

Summary:     the world's largest vegetable seed corporation,
announced on 28 June that it would eliminate 2,000
varieties - or 25% of its total product line - as a
cost-cutting
measure. Seed industry consolidation is dramatically narrowing
the availability of non-hybrid vegetable varieties and a wealth of
seed diversity is being lost forever.

To Dave Anderson

Since you are the closest to the wholesale mkt of anyone on this list, Is
there any way you could translate this list
for chile and tomato growers, It looks like their greed is going to hurt
some of us.

Maybe before growing season is over we should be thinking about seed saving
and swapping even more.

Thank you
Byron
