Seed Banks
 

Do the US have any seed banks?

(where seeds for various food-plants are stocked - for that you never know scenario)

I think norway or finland does.

And i think i heard australia might, based at antarctica.

I couldnt see why the USA wouldnt.

Norway does have one way up north. I heard about it on Glenn Beck today plus I've read about it before. It is a good way to keep things cool without electrical power needed in case if "the oops" happens. I hope we have something like that here, otherwise, we will have to fly a 707 or get a boat to go fetch the seeds. I know north of me is "Iron Mountain" in Boyers, PA (it was featured in Allegheny Uprising) where they store records and other things there underground in a big mine. I see their trucks running around all the time as I go on deliveries. I have a friend that lives near there, we plan to get together and go on a tour of the place. I do think it is possible you can store seeds there too, IIRC, the temperature is like 55F all year round.

how about smaller one's? say in reserch centers, colleges and arberitams (sp?).

We mentioned it in this thread Odd Treasure Troves
