Who knew animal husbandry was to create a non-breeding stock.

Ever heard of a mule?

I seriously doubt increased yield was the motivation behind it, profit derived from controlling supply was. Profit is not bad but some means of acquiring it are. The idea of being forced to turn to a multinational for seed every growing season makes me very uncomfortable, and I suspect there will be unintended consequences in the wild. Any cross-pollination with non-GM plants could lead to a die-off of those plants. Has there been sufficient field testing to guarantee against that? I suspect not.

Ever heard of a daddy mule? No, because they don’t procreate thus ending your argument.
