I don’t know of any non-hobby farms that keep seeds. Saving seeds on mass scale is difficult, and requires specialist equipment. Many commercial seeds are pre-treating with fungicides and/or starter fertilizer as well, which is often worth paying the premium for. As you mentioned, some non-GMO plants (hybrids - common with corn, wheat, cotton) don’t produce good seed anyways.
