re: Can anyone enlighten me about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

I don't know that the seeds contain pesticides, however they are trated with them. It is more like a coating.

You can't re use the seed because these seed companies have TM on their technologies. No one wants to plant a crop that is not Round-Up Ready or Liberty Link. There is no way to keep the weeds out unless you pull them by hand. Like it or not these big companies spend major money working on these technologies, they are not just going to give it to the farmer and let them use their technology for nothing.

People are against GMO's and Round Up Ready, but I am not sure we could feed the Earth without it.


ETA: the treatment they put on these seeds is way safer than Temik and Methyl they used to put in the ground to keep nematodes and such off. These products were outlawed, which led to the seed treatment movement.
