The National Research Council report addresses this issue briefly
without mentioning Monsanto. It says that issues of proprietary terms
³has not adversely affected the economic welfare of farmers who adopt
G.E. crops.² But it said there is some evidence that the availability of
nonengineered crops ³may be restricted for some farmers.²

Translation: There aren't sufficient conventional seeds to fill farmers
demands.


Or our bellies. Nice dream to control weeds in depleted soils but just
like how our plant food went west the souls and nutrients must prevail
or we get empty food that looks good and BG just go up.
I thought about soil vs. souls and it seems to resonate somehow.

Stuff dark and rich clings to my mind
Move it about and I must help it.
A seed a seed
Nothing more than a promise to
Enjoy tomorrows light.
