As a side note, I was taking my dog to Cornell and got to look into some of the greenhouses. There didn't seem to be that much preventing cross pollination, especially of wind pollinated varieties. However, since they seemed to be dedicating separate rooms for varieties, the tomatoes probably self pollinate most of the time.

I've see no info about that at all. As to Svalbard, I think that's fine,the backup for the several USDA stations is in Fort Collins. CO and should be OK,backup for SSE stuff is also at Fort Collins, but as to the individual USDA locations in many parts of the country,that's a good question since the USDA is under the Dept of Agriculture who fund them , and I'm not going to get political about what might happen.
Same for the USDA GRIN site, I haven't a clue.
