No, GMO seeds cannot be heirloom seeds, and they cannot be saved from year to year to plant the following year. There are a few reasons for this: GMO seeds are transgenic (meaning a gene has been removed from one organism and inserted into another in a lab) and heirloom seeds are not transgenic, GMO seeds are patented and saving them from year to year is a violation of that patent whereas heirloom seeds can be saved for planting the following year, heirloom seeds have been grown for decades, often longer and GMO seeds were introduced fairly recently (1996 was the first commercially planted GMO crop).

How do you get a till in harvest moon Its a Wonderful Life?
The quickest way I got money was by seeds, banana seeds to be honest. But a couple banana seeds from Vesta. Also buy alot of fertilizer. Plant the seeds in the biggest and most fertile field, the one in the back with the darkest soil. Plant the seeds and add fertilizer. ALWAYS FERTILIZE YOUR BANANAS!!!! As the trees grow buy a seedmaker. After you harvest your fruits put them into the seedmaker. If you have 'S' quality seeds them you can plant those can continue to grow perfect bananas. If you have 'A' quality make those seeds and plant and fertilize them. After you have a lot of 'S' quality seeds sell them to Van, but bargain the price with him. Do this over and over again :D
