Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

Mennonites at their best: identifying a practical problem and finding a practical solution. (I would have called it "seeds of independence".)

Good article, Petr. We too, favor heritage varieties and breeds. I will have to look into the Turkey Red wheat variety. Some hybrids are legitimate in that they do resist disease and are not chemically dependent. Those are becoming fewer in number however.

I wonder if crops of the amaranth family such as quinoa is another possibility for that community? Quinoa is adaptable to different climates and quite high in nutritional values.

With all due respect while I am sure the Epps and people like them are well intentioned that type of thinking were it actually totally carried out would result in food shortages and higher food prices.
I for one do not want to be dependant on governments alone to be responsible for the advancement of food technology. Turkey red wheat was a great seed for its time. Very few farmers would be happy with it today and it certainly would not pay the bills unless you somehow convinced your customers that it was worth paying a substantial premium for. To do that would involved stretching the truth further than I would be comfortable with.

No worries. :hug:


Jewish couple has been married for 91 years, have 64 grandchildren and they are still deeply in love

When persecution and other heavy duty issues are a daily routine, it puts petty squabbles out the door.

It is often easy to miss the positive. Someone is teaching these kids this kind of action.

Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.

I like how the kids each helped themselves to a candy after restocking the bowl.
