Byron, For your information, the vast majority of seed sold in this country is grown and processed in third world countries. Very little is actually grown here. As far as seed borne diseases go, proper processing will take care of them and BTW sterilization is not a part of the process. Has it ever crossed your mind that some neophyte just might pay some attention to your babble? You do a tremendous disservice to those folks in addition to boring the rest of us. Do us all a favor and put a sock in it! Chuck Wyatt
