Actually there are problems even with that. In Canada a farmer was sued because he was using his own seeds, and some of Monsanto's pollen from another farm blew in, so his crop was a hybrid with Monsanto's genes in it. They tested it, found some of their patented genes, sued and won!
Also through cross pollination his crop could produce seeds that are sterile, forcing him to purchase the seeds later.
