So sad to know about Johnny's :(
ReplyDeleteBogus info being passed on here! What is sad is that I am finding this SAME list all over the web. Johnny's is NOT owned by Monsanto. Burpee is NOT owned by Monsanto. A rep from Johnny's has posted to a couple of these blogs, but what a mess to try to post to every single one of them. Burpee's has posted to their own website - company is PRIVATELY owned by the Ball family. It's becoming like spam or an urban legend at this point. Please take the time to double check info before slandering decent folks. Shumway is not; Jung's Family Seeds is not. What other good seed company's are being falsely reported??
ReplyDeleteYes, but how do we know they don't buy seeds from Monsanto, or Monsanto affiliates?
DeleteI actually e-mailed Territorial. Here is my response from Territorial. "We are family owned by Tom and Julie Johns. We have no affiliation with Monsanto."
DeleteThank you, (name omitted) TSC
So there you have it. So I agree with OrnamenTalle, DOUBLE CHECK your info. Monsanto will go down without this kind of slanderous info being passed around about honest family owned businesses. I would like to also think that they would know the origin of their seeds.
This list is comical and desperately misinformed. And I dare say, slanderous. Anyone who is remotely curious will discover how silly the claims above are. It does not take a rocket scientist to do the research:

Fear mongering does not help solve the problem. It only muddies the waters.
This article tells a different story and clearly notes that Johnny's and the others listed are indeed owned by Monsanto. http://www.seedalliance.org/Seed_News/SeminisMonsanto/

DeleteQuoted from the article: "Both Johnny’s and Territorial have received strikingly similar missives with nearly the same wording, demanding that the firms reveal their Seminis’ varieties “so I can avoid them at all costs. Otherwise I’ll toss your catalog.”
ReplyDeleteWhich is what I just did, tossed them both.
Johnny's seeds bought some stock from Seminis several years ago before Monsanto bought the company. http://www.johnnyseeds.com/t-ownership.aspx
ReplyDeletehere's what i don't get. you start off saying there is a list of companies that are owned in some form or another by monsanto then you show a list that states "All of these seed companies are owned by Monsanto or buy seed from Seminis or
ReplyDeleteother seed companies, which are owned by Monsanto. so what are you trying to say? are they all owned or not? and have YOU actually contacted any of these companies yourself or did you just cut and paste this taking someones word for it?
