We’re excited to announce that we had a secret Farm Hack – St. Louis event last week, at which young farmers and off-duty GMO scientists put their heads together. After an all-nighter hack-a-thon, we came up with a great new way to create DIY Genetically Modified Seeds on your very own farm, using off-the-shelf materials!

Materials list:

• one packet of regular seeds
• one .22 caliber rifle
• one briefcase full of cash (for lobbying against GMO regulation)
• some genes from a fish, to help create a flood-tolerant plant.

Next step is to put on a Tyvek suit and click here to follow our detailed instructions.
