This article reminds me of the story of Cargill Co. and Indian farmers... Many
years ago, Cargill offered farmers in India hybrid seeds and all the chemicals
they needed to grow the food free for three years. After three years, Cargill
announced that they would begin charging the farmers for the seed they needed.
Those farmers who were unable to afford the hybrid seed (most) lost their
farms because the open-pollinated seed they had saved three years previously
was no longer viable. Guess who bought up all that lost farm land?
