Officials in at least 15 states across the country have issued warnings for residents not to plant unsolicited packages of seeds delivered through the mail and labeled as coming from China.

The United States Department of Agriculture, the Department of Homeland Security, and other state and federal agencies are investigating the packages that have shown up in mailboxes across the country.

No, but heard about it multiple times today including on radio news with a warning from our state ag commissioner to not plant or even throw away the seeds.

I have no idea if this is a hoax or some kind of Chinese sneak attack. Not very sneaky considering the Chinese letters on the shipping label. But I’m sure some azzhats will plant them despite the warnings

First I've heard of this.

First the replace baby formula with melamine.
The other month they sent enough drugs up through Mexico to kill the world.
Then the send out the Wuhon plague.

Now what is this, bio- agri warfare?

I'm guessing that Monsanto is connected. Just my conspiracy theory until there's information available.
It would be in the nature of Monsanto.

Monsanto is a corporation that sells products to people who want them. If you don’t want them go buy something else. Simple deal. DUH! Edk

It looks like someone is trying to turn US public opinion against China.

Dang. I should not have thrown those seeds that came in the mail out in the farmers field I guess. Might go poorly

My first comment was tongue in cheek and meant to be slightly humorous. Why?
I thought that it would be obvious to any farmers here.
Anyone who knows anything about Monsanto knows that it is a thoroughly evil company. It earned the much deserved name, Monsatan amongst nutritionists and related professionals. Its popular product Round Up is refered to as Liquid Cancer.
It mixes genetics between different kinds of creatures with plants.
The list goes on and on for miles.

I ordered badger shave brushes from a Chinese Ebay seller back March 16, and don't have them yet. Seeds no one ordered are delivered?

I heard on the news this morning it was a scam to be able to get reviews from people and develop ratings for whatever they sell

I'm not sure how that works, I was in a drive thru and turned the radio off at that point to order.

I think the badger might take exception to being shaved. Badgers aren't known for their mercurial nature.


If you love someone set them free
If they come back no one else liked them
Set them free again
