Thanks, Laura.
It seems like the battle against Monsanto is tilting at windmills sometimes, but we gotta do what we can. I get most of my stuff from Fedco, but we need the reminder to check our other sources, too.
The rBGH story has really gotten buried, hasn't it? ;-(

a couple other seed companies that organic-minded people use that also sell monsanto seeds are Johnny's, Jung's and Gardens Alive.

A couple years ago when this all took place, I called every company that sent me a catalog. When I ascertained that they sold seminis varieties, I asked to be taken off their lists. One customer service lady was indignant, telling me that if SHE didn't know where their seeds came from, there was no way that I could know. Sheesh.
My problems with Monsanto are deep and wide, including agent orange, anniston alabama, glyphosates, terminator technology, rBGH, percy schmeiser, dioxins, etc. GMOs are but another piece of the pie. Safe Seed Pledge, like organic certification, is somewhat of a marketing ploy.
