So who else is going to the SSE campout in Decorah, IA next weekend? A
lot of people are doing just what the article suggests, and Seed Saver's
Exchange has its own storage as well as participating in the Svalbard
"doomsday*" vault.
FWIW, contributors to the vault retain control of their seeds, but there is
an escape clause if they aren't still around. Personally, I'm OK with
that.
