>you should consider that your seed after harvest is going to be different on a genetic level from what you planted (just like how you’re not a clone of your parents, the wheat isn’t either). So sure you could reuse seed from harvest, but then you risk having plants susceptible to disease, drought, and lower yield. Being cynical doesn’t make you informed.
It's like people have missed the past century of farming improvement. And they basically just want a reason to steer the conversation to band wagon hate on GMOs and Monsanto.
