Many terms are being tossed around with little meaning or understanding.
GMO means a gene was inserted from another species. You do realize we are really GMO beings. When a bacteria invades our bodies leaving genetic material that is now part of our genetic make up. Why do you think we don't get the same flu over and over again? We take injections that also change our DNA so that we have now genes that stop certain diseases. Same thing that the trait companies are doing w/soybeans, corn, etc.
Inbred means it is a line of known genetics.
Hybrid is simply the results of breeding 2 different lines. They may or may not be GMO's. In the breeding world they can also be called an inbred as they know their genetic base.
Confused enough? Best thing to do, is visit w/whomever you want to do business with and see if you are ok w/their model of business.
