Take the true essence of a seed, fertility, fecundity, abundance, beauty, future potential, the power of generation, and then patent it and bar code it.  Claim, as a single company, to own that which has been the gift from all generations before us, to their progeny. Lay claim by inserting into the DNA of that seed, a gene which allows the plant to be sprayed with a powerful pesticide and survive, while killing all surrounding plants lacking the gene.
