If you have read this far – then no doubt you are in agreement that purchasing non-hybrid seeds may be the right thing for you and your family. It provides a source of food for your household in case of an extreme emergency that might unfold in front of you.

However, another reason to purchase and grow non-hybrid seeds is rapidly becoming more in to play with the current uncertainty of our economy, price of oil and global conditions.

And that is – growing non-hybrid seeds can save your family money. The price of food has increased dramatically over the past twelve months and experts expect this trend to continue through the decade.

The FAO Food Price Index has determined that the price of food rose almost 15% this past half year – the biggest leap in over 20 years.

In the last half of 2010 corn prices in the US alone rose a whopping 73% – largely due to the corn required in the use of bioethanol.

These amazing food price increases will continue to rise as oil prices rise – and the cost of delivery food to your neighborhood grocery store spikes.

So – think about it – Purchasing non-hybrid seeds and planting a backyard garden for your family may be a way to help save money and keep down your ever growing grocery bill.
