Your post is Bull Punky. Why would anyone want to steal hybrid seeds that they CAN’T save “from one year to the next,” as you put it? That’s not happening here. Instead, as was stated by the OP, Monsanto is contaminating fields and then suing for theft, and changing laws to support their suits even if the wind blows their GM hybrid crops elsewhere. Thousands of innocent farmers have been sued and intimidated into buying Monsanto’s products because of these bogus legal threats they can’t afford to fight.

And it’s a big enough problem that any Iowa Granny would know this without having to be told.

Where can I find this information? If a farmer has planted his field with purchased seed, all he/she need do is present the receipt for the seed that they planted. I know of no farmer that has been intimidated into buying Monsanto products due to legal threats. Around these parts, the seed companies beg for business ... not try to intimidate their way in the door.
