This came to me from Prof. Joe Cummins via the Ban-GEF list - thought
gardeners & other growers should be aware that GE seed is being sold for
varieties other than corn and soybeans, so buyer beware! Other seed
companies/catalogs are probably carrying GE varieties as well - best to
check carefully when ordering.
