Let's hope SCOTUS starts doing the right thing! .............................. When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself. ..................................

When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering." ~ Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25280988 Canada 10/11/2012 01:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.wired.com] Quoting: Too Dark Park Imagine a licensing agreement for buying seeds that allows them to be used only once a season. They cannot be resold for planting, and cannot be used for research, crop breeding or seed production. Those indeed are the terms of seed giant Monsanto’s licensing agreement for its “Roundup Ready” soybeans, regardless of how unnatural the conditions may seem when it comes to farming. This is farming in the age of patented, genetically modified organisms, which in this case concerns soybean crops that withstand herbicide. This is already the case... and has been for years. |

This is farming in the age of patented, genetically modified organisms, which in this case concerns soybean crops that withstand herbicide. It produces a sterile product that can't be reseeded anyway. All GMO plants are supposed to be sterile. That is why we will be starving when the economy crashes. There are few non-GMO seeds available. If all the heritage seeds were planted we still couldn't feed everyone in America. Without any food to export, the rest of the world is screwed! Farmers will not be able to buy Monsanto's poison, and won't be able to reseed from their own stock. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe |

I thought that Monsanto were genetically engineering seeds so the resulting plants weren't capable of producing seed for further crops? |
