Where Do You Get Seed From?

I get seeds from the local agricultural bank. I also keep some of the seeds, ones I harvest-- rice, corn or mustard. Most of the time I can keep seeds from what I grow, sometimes I have to change it every couple of years because of the crops fertilization. Some of the seeds become impure and that could be detrimental in one particular way in the price that i get for cross fertilized rice is two to five hundred rupees (per 100 kilo).
