URGENT
!!!
State
Departments of Agriculture
are
Attempting to
Regulate
Seed Banks
Out
of Existence
Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture officials sent ‘a friendly letter’
to a seed bank/seed
exchange group in Mechanicsburg,
every
variety of seed with extremely impractical and pointless tests
to ensure
that they are up to standards with regulations.
‘Agri-Terrorism’ was cited by officials as a reason why such regulations
‘Agri-Terrorism’ was cited by officials as a reason why such regulations
should be
enforced on something as natural as the right to exchange
and
possess seeds.
There are laws in every state regulating the possession and exchange of seeds.
There are laws in every state regulating the possession and exchange of seeds.
The
actual enforcement of these laws is spotty, because a lot of law is actually
too
complex most often to even decode, and just about any crazy thing that was once
written
in law can be enforced if law enforcement wants to.
Also, who
wants to enforce laws regulating and stifling such a productive,
natural
right?
“There’s almost no danger,” said John Torgrimson,
“There’s almost no danger,” said John Torgrimson,
the
executive director of the Seed Savers Exchange.
“This is
not a risk to agriculture in any state.
This is
not a risk to our food supply.”
Pennsylvania is not alone in this fight.
Pennsylvania is not alone in this fight.
Regulators
in Nebraska are also looking at local seed banks.
David Svik, the head of Nebraska’s ‘Seed Control Office’,
says he will ‘see how to proceed’
with the many seed banks of the state
who are not complying with regulations.
To quote a farmer from Nebraska on the issue,
Betsy Goodman, on her opinion:
“Regenerating your own seed is a human right.”
In other words, the recent development here is that Nebraska state bureaucrats
being paid to enforce laws that only benefit big agriculture,
wish to proceed with severely limiting the ability for the people to do
what they should fundamentally have a right to:
collect and exchange seeds.
They’re trying to proceed with enforcing regulations at any cost.
This is fundamentally a move to help stifle the empowerment
of these people with their agricultural practices.
Will there be a standoff?
Will anyone be arrested, fined, or feel the force of the state
over saving and trading seeds?
Hopefully we will not see the state inflict violence
on peaceful people exercising their rights.
The only real ‘Agri-Terrorists’ that exist
are corporations like Monsanto
who influence laws like this,
and bureaucrats paid to enforce
and deal with the laws that inhibit people from
taking action to be well off with their agriculture.
It seems Big Agriculture corporations support these laws
so that farmers will have to annually buy seeds
that are patented GM or hybrid,
instead of harvesting their own seeds to plant.
Inserted -jbs: GMO SEEDS
GENETICALLY MODIFIED SEEDS
( modified with even animal & baby fetus - how sick is that ? )
Maintaining our natural right to simply possess seeds
and freely practice agriculture
is something we absolutely need to do.
It’s an overall dangerous position for a society to be in,
where most of us don’t know how to possess seeds,
grow food, and survive without a Wal-Mart or Taco Bell.
I think in the future this will become more painfully apparent,
and people will start cultivating crops again.
But when they do,
will these Departments of Agriculture try to stifle it with laws?
We must be opposed to these laws to the fullest in order to
guarantee our simple right to be prosperous.
Please share this with as many people as possible,
as it’s fundamentally important to be aware
of developments in bureaucratic efforts
to stifle our natural, basic rights.
