I live in a rural farming and ranching community which depends on row crops for food on the table and for livestock. There have been many people complaining that the seeds themselves are bad this year. I would have to agree as my best coddling came to nothing. Christopher Westerbrook, the Ice Age Farmer suggested last year that people begin seed libraries in the communities. Even bad, hybridized seed will acclimate after two or three seasons and be stronger for that specific area. I have begun saving wild seed for edibles and medicinal herbs as the survival stories say that within a year every plant and animal will be scavenged. The other things I save, save, save are reusable containers, especially glass or metal. I learned in India that without your own containers, even if you can find what you need (medicine), if you can’t put it into something protective, the commodity will be trashed. Thank you so much for this post and challenging us with the idea that we need to be out in these fields gleaning. God bless you
I had poor success with the seeds that I bought mail order this spring. The packages said over 90% germination rate for the different seeds. I figure 10% germination rate. The seeds that I bought at the feed store did very well.
I am not alone as other people have told me similar stories. If you want to be sure for the future, plant non GMO seeds, harvest the seeds and see if they germinate. It is the only way to be sure.
My corn grew and grew but never produced any corn this year.
I’d imagine by now they have stuff they can spray that will help kill off our garden or livestock preps even. Hopefully not but can’t put anything past them nowadays.
WE NEED TO STAND! This is unreal that we’re still trying to decide IF/WHEN we should do anything… mind boggling!
Interesting… wonder if the farmer is obligated to destroy the crop or if he is able to harvest for sale himself? Maybe something in the contract? Might not have been up to grade for the store and they rejected his crop? I would still eat it but you wouldn’t see that at my grocer.
Had something similar near me whem I lived in NY, local farmer had a cabbage contract with local grocery chain get cancelled (was paid a termination fee that covered his seed and fertilizer), so he let the locals have at it. I think I still have some saurkraut left.
Another one grew squash for same grocery chain, and after harvest/order was fulfilled, locals were allowed to glean the cast offs and leftovers. Guess it depends on the farmer?
