Brook Barb,

Do you have an opinion on genetically engineered (GE or GM genetically 
modified) seed particularly as it threatens to contaminate heirloom seed? Is 100 ft 
buffer (as I've seen suggested) sufficient in your opinion to keep heirloom 
seed pure, keeping in mind that each crop is different, and each pollinator may 
be different, and each gene is different.
