Seed Swap 2011 in Carbondale IL

Orlan Mays introduces his project with the Attucks Community Farm by talking about Genetic Modification of seeds. 85% of all corn growing here is genetically modified.
91% of soybeans are genetically modified. That, he says, is why events like the seed swap are so important, because this is where people are ensuring the existence of the last 15% of corn, or 9% of soybeans, and other kinds of open pollinated seed.
