Come now.  Greed is good.  Do you understand that when demand goes up, 
prices can climb?  Desire for profit made this seed available in the
first place.  If someone offered you a raise, would you turn it down?
You make it sound like it's bad that more prairies are being planted.
Barter and self-gathering is great, but how am I going to seed my 
forty acres next spring?  Quit my job and walk the meadows for the 
next two months?
