[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 901387, member: 5529"] Something that comes into play by me are the soybean crops which are alternated with the corn from year to year. In a nutshell Monsanto owns copyrights to its seed and farmers are not allowed to use any other than theirs once they enter into the agreement, may not save seed, etc. Its really unbelievable, well actually not in todays world. "Since the mid-1990s, it has sued 145 individual US farmers for patent infringement in connection with its genetically engineered seed.[SUP][SIZE=2][59][/SIZE][/SUP] The usual claim involves violation of a technology agreement that prohibits farmers from saving seed from one season's crop to plant the next, a common farming practice.[SUP][SIZE=2][60][/SIZE][/SUP] One farmer received an eight-month prison sentence for violating a court order to destroy seeds,[SUP][SIZE=2][61][/SIZE][/SUP] in addition to having to pay damages, when a Monsanto case turned into a criminal prosecution" [/QUOTE]
