I recall that the seeds for RoundUp Ready crops will grow only once and that the seeds that the crop produces are sterile so that farmers will have to purchase seeds from Monsanto in subsequent years to grow future crops.

If a farmer decides to plant heirloom seeds that will grow and produce crops where the seeds will also grow new crops, what happens if the Monsanto crop infects this crop by cross-pollinating with it ?
