I was also able to find lists of Monsanto varieties very quickly by doing a
Google search. As for someone mysteriously taking down a supposed FB
list of incriminating evidence, that has about as much credibility as "the check
is in the mail." If they've got the info, they can post it again.
I'm chalking this up to yet another email scare, created by someone who wants to
use shock-em tactics to accomplish their goals.

1)
Johnny's does carry some Monsanto-owned seed, as well as a lot of seed that
isn't.
2) Seminis/Monsanto has website pages up advertising their varieties by
name, and publicly accessible. So I've got serious doubts about the rest of
this.

[PCGuild] This just

From Joel Glanzburg, a PC guy whom I trust, so hard to ignore—anyone
have any more information on this?
" ATTENTION FARMERS AND
GARDENERS! Earlier today my friend … posted a list of seeds owned
by Monsanto that are sold at Johnny's Selected Seeds in Maine, and within
a few hours the list was pulled from both fer fb page and her business
page as well. When she spoke to Johnny's today they said Monsanto won't
allow them to publish this information claiming it's 'proprietary information.' But why doesn't Monsanto want
people to know which seed varieties they 'own'? These are not varieties
they've developed (for example: Big Beef tomatoes), only ones they've
recenly acquired by buying up other seed companies -- how is it
proprietary information for me to tell others that Monsanto owns Big Beef
tomatoes? Thanks fb for censoring our posts and preventing the flow of
information! BS!
