There was a time when most successful farmers saved their own seed. By selecting cultivars that are well adapted to a given soil and climate, they were able to maximize their yields. Like many things, big business has lulled us in to a sense of complacency and made us dependent on them and over the years, most have lost the skills needed to effectively select and preserve the crops needed to sustain themselves and provide food for others.
