Obviously you've never planted 40 acres of anything! Using 20 year old varieties of corn or potatoes is a sure path to bankruptcy. Nobody wastes capital planting anything but modern registered seed just as nobody really wants to buy anything that isn't from registered seed. How do you think those non gmo products buy their source products? They buy from farmers that plant registered seed (and can prove it with receipts) that isn't GMO. Just like the fake peak oil scare, the fake peak food scare assumes that humans are too stupid to improve anything. Food production is constantly improving and new hybrids and GMOs are only going to be available if the IP can be protected.

I'd think it would be useful to submit some fake data but I'm sure of the legality of it. Probably legal if you submitted someone else's DNA with their approval as your own but beyond that who knows and that would pretty much be a one time thing that doesn't scale. If you don't care about laws, well then, the sky is the limit.
