    Informally sharing seed with a neighbor who gardens down the street is illegal in multiple states in the US.

    I don’t think that’s accurate. Since the author mentioned Minnesota, I checked the Minnesota Dept of Agriculture website. It only takes about the need for labelling and permits for commercial sellers, not for getting seeds from your neighbour.

    Even the 300 seed libraries throughout the US can’t give away seeds or facilitate the exchange of seeds between organic gardeners unless they purchase a permit.

    That’s simply not true.

    “the library is free to distribute seeds, but it can’t accept harvested seeds without following the state’s testing and labeling requirements for seed distributors. The library is…free to host seed swaps where individual gardeners can exchange seeds with one another.”

    Yet another example of why Christina Sarich is not a credible source for information.

      Yes that’s the way to combat this evil menace. Americans must regain what is rightfully theirs and to establish their democratic rights.

      do a search for community rights and learn how to beat corporations “legally” in the courts at a local level it’s easier than you would think

        Sorry if the government and Monsanto want you to lose you will lose. Community rights – Have you totally lost your mind? You’re living in fantasy land with spectomaniac and Bozo.

  4. overslept says:

    yes I would like to know which states as well. Weird.

  5. Which states? It would be nice to have an article that has complete information.

    1. I agree. This gets annoying when she says something without anything to back it up. I went to the site and couldn’t get a real definitive answer to which 30 states they’re talking about. I see the same story is all over the net with the same ho hum as to where they’re talking about. Maybe Ed Shultz, Bill O’Reilly or Anderson Cooper knows?

      1. Could just be another psy-op. It seems everybody is getting in on the act.

        Anybody worth their salt, when publishing an article, backs it up with documentation.

        Heck, even if you are commenting in a forum, most people expect documentation if you make a claim that sounds off the wall.
