Monsanto, They have been for a few years now moving from chemicals to mono crops. Why? Because profit again. STERILE SEED which means you sow the seed, harvest the crop. BUT, you cannot save some of the seed to sow again because its sterile. SO, back to the seed supplier who can charge what the hell they like for you to buy more sterile seed off them. But the main thing to think about is, IF the seed gets a virus it cannot fight it off. Oh that's ok we will cross breed back to other varieties. MY ASS, the reliable varieties have gone. We have used mono seed. Why? profit for the few once again.
