Monsanto bought Seminis, and changed the name to American Seeds. Seminis is a major supplier of fruit and vegetable seeds to other seed sellers. Some companies stopped buying from them; Seminis owns some of the more popular varieties of vegetables, so these companies will have to find substitutes. If you buy heirloom seeds from a place like SSE (and lots of other companies), they won't be from Monsanto.

What I "heard"is that Monsanto owns American Seeds and that the "list below folks" have bought American Seeds. Do not have a clue if any of that is true.

Unreal, and untrue. It sounds to me more like a list of seed companies NOT
owned by Monsanto. Many of the companies listed are owned by Jung's. Some
are independent or family-owned. Johnny's is employee-owned; I've bought
from and gotten Johnny's newsletter for years; they will be one of the LAST
companies to fall to Monsanto..
