Depends on details. Monsanto doesn't worry about seeds on the wind. The cases I've read have come down to the fact that they escaped to someone who was trying to take those genetics. The farmer planted next to a round-up ready field, and then saved seeds - this would have been fine except the farmer then used those seeds and sprayed round-up which ensured all the plants without the round-up ready genes died and his next batch of seeds was all round-up ready. If the farmer had just used all the seeds without round-up Monsanto wouldn't have cared - at least so far as we have evidence, but then of course the farmer lacks the benefits of those genes.
The demonization of Monsanto is really something. You should go back to those who've been doing it and reevaluate what they were trying to get you to think.
I mean, they are leaders in genetic use restriction technology in crops. This runs counter to millennia of the farming practice of seed saving for very small farms.
That feels pretty bad guyish. Unless I'm missing something?
You're repeating more of the bullshit there. You're talking about Terminator seeds, which were never brought to market, and which don't do anything good old fashioned non-GMO hybrid seeds did (in preventing reuse of seeds.)
which hybrid seeds didn't do, I meant. The point is that hybrids don't breed true, so they nix farmers retaining and reusing seeds as effectively as Terminator seeds would.
farmers want that. last years corn in this years field is a weed you don't want so if the corn won't grow that is good. No farmer saves seed as modern hybrids yield several times better but the children don't.
