Heritage or Heirloom seeds are usually the seeds that farmers save year after year for replanting of crops. If you are a farmer who does this and has done this for generations and your neighbor plants the same crop next to your field (except hes using GMO). Because of cross pollination your seeds will now have genetic markers and what other traits from the GMO seeds.. Those changed Genes are patented and even though through no fault of your own, you plant these seeds the next year your liable for planting GMO seeds you did not purchase.
