"Monsanto might just have to quit suing those farmers whos adjacent fields get Monsanto's modified pollen blown into them."
That farmer specifically selected the resistant plants through several generations of growings to steal the traits for his own use.
So? Could the farmer have practically worked to develop his own improvements by selective breeding while in the vicinity of Monsanto fields? By what means would he be supposed to keep out the Monsanto genes?
Personally, I happen to believe that some of the GM companies want to destroy heirloom strains of crops, so that there will be no alternatives to buying their seeds.
