> Since the 1940s

sales totals as evidence?

> farmers have preferred

Which farmers, in what markets?

> hybrid seeds that don't breed true

does this apply to the Organic markets as defined by the legal definition of Organic ?

> Saving seeds is an extremely stupid thing

extremely stupid statements quickly accuse others of being extremely stupid, in my experience

> so no farmer hesitates

hesitation.. you mean understanding the agreement? then deciding on your own, with your own counsel ?

> sign the agreement

which legal jurisdiction ? what language is the agreement in ? where is the venue for resolution of conflict?

It's a dick move to demand a citation for everything. Do you do that for all the posts you AGREE with?

hybrid seeds don't breed true. You need to research what hybrid means, I have no idea why you bring up "organic markets" as if the market/growing conditions affect the genetics of a plant??
