I don't think that was the case. USDA was never intended for Mr. & Ms. Backyard Gardener. Zman got a LOT of flack last year for acquiring seeds and flaunting his success. A phone call or two later to USDA, they now actually READ those applications now, sending seeds only to those who qualify. I think all Zman accomplished was to get USDA to begin strictly enforcing their policy, which had already been in place.
