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.

supply of the world, and the ultimate pricing of such. Using "terminator
technology", all seeds produced by the plants are sterile. Therefore, the
farmer MUST buy new seeds every year, at the going price, which is decided
by a small handful of companies. Want to see the ultimate in greed and
power? There it is. No one eats unless they can pay your price.
