      @BoringDev See previous tweet. Irrigation, crop rotation, mechanization = better yealds = solves participation @MForstater @JamesArinaitwe

      @tmsruge @MForstater @JamesArinaitwe You can't find an agronomist who thinks you can really boost yields substantially without improved seed

      @JamesArinaitwe @BoringDev @tmsruge As a farmer I'm not sure why u say hybrids OK 'if allowed to reuse'? #confusedhttps://twitter.com/JamesArinaitwe/status/580410613618249728 …

      @BoringDev @ariongm @tmsruge I am not against those seeds as long as they've been proven else where & our famers are allowed to reuse them.

      @tmsruge @JamesArinaitwe @BoringDev I think the natural/not natural distinction is a blind alley. Agriculture is not natural!

      @MForstater @JamesArinaitwe @BoringDev Oh, so planting an unmodified seed into the ground is not natural, but modifying the seed is?

      @tmsruge @JamesArinaitwe @BoringDev - Hybrids aren't 'modified' they are the result of plant breeding. Are you thinking of GMOs?

          @tmsruge @JamesArinaitwe @BoringDev Then all seeds used in ag are 'modified': they not wild strains, they've been breed & domesticated
