Hold on a minute. This means the Chinese in America KNEW when the farmer was planting his crop and where in a field it was being planted. Insider knowledge. How would the Chinese know where in America to go to get those strains of seeds they wanted? Look back up the supply lines from the farmer to see who told the Chinese where to look. The supplier of the seed to the farmer. If the supplier is found out to have given knowledge to a Chinese thief, then that supplier needs to be held culpable for giving away that knowledge. Sure the Chinese needed to have eyes on the farmer for where he was planting on his field and what day he would be in the field. But someone either at the seed manufacturing plant OR the seed wholesaler needs to be looked at. Plus, I'd like to see a person go out into a field and dig up a good supply of planted seeds. That is a back breaking endeavor. I've seen Nic Welker do this just after he planted soy beans and he had to dig through some tough ground just to see how deep his drill set the seed. You would have thought that just after the planter tines hit the soil that a furrow would be almost powdery, yet he just about had to get a hand spade to break through the ground to see where the seed was.
You dont live in farm country do ya? Its not like they hide it when they have signs at the end of the rows telling you manufacturer, type and lot. Maybe its because Im so close to a major agricultural college at Michigan State but a road I travel often is about 20 miles long and you see these signs everywhere.
You are correct. I live in the Ozarks where the only thing we dig out of the ground is rocks. Ugh, dig down an inch and you come to ledge rock. I'm amazed at how this area can even grow grass.
I'm pretty sure that farmers can geo-map their fields and program their new tractors to specifically plant seeds precisely is such a way that a second cover crop or other desirable complimenting crop can be planted in between the rows of the first crop. All the data is stored probably on a cloud (someone else's computer) that could be accessed to know exactly when and where the seeds were planted. Someone with an app could walk onto a field the in less than 18 hours and geolocate a row and start digging. This could be done without the seller or farmer even knowing about it until they notice the missing row of plants.

If they were using the John Deere AI tractors it would explain a lot.
