The wind carries pollen from the crops long distances, where it cross-pollinates with other crops, some of which are grown from seed.

This is a real thing that happens. There have been major court cases about it, like this one from Canada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto_Canada_Inc_v_Schmeise...

If we understand "in the wild" to mean outside of farmers' fields, then rapeseed pollen flying from one rapeseed field to another nearby rapeseed field is not "in the wild".

If you redefine the words to win an argument you can win the argument.

By "wild propagation" I meant outside of the original controlled planting.

Propagating to another farm leaves the controlled area and now it's spreading in the wild.

		This is what you wrote: "The impact of their wild propagation should be studied first, not unleashed upon the local ecosystem." So by "wild propagation" you meant farm-to-farm propagation? And by "local ecosystem" you meant "farmers' fields"? And you accuse others of redefining words.
