I took some organic clover seed to my buyer yesterday , they handle all kinds of organic seed. I asked for a bag of tillage radish seed, he wanted to know if I wanted organic seed, I told him that I did not know it was available and he informed me that I came out late last fall. He asked me why just one bag and I told him I was going to grow my own seed from it. He told me I couldn't do it because it had a patent on it. He really harped on the fact it was illegal for me to grow it. I did not pursue it any farther with him. I called my organic certifier this morning with the question of how can you patent an organic seed, to which I might add he did not have an answer. I had to pay a premium for this seed of a dollar a pound over conventional. I can not find a certifiers name on the seed tag anywhere. I guess the question here is why can I not raise my own seed, and am I paying a heck of a price for a fancy bag?
