So why do you feel Monsanto is still trying to do business with farmers?

For the same reason why Farmers are doing business with Monsanto, profit!

Nothing wrong with that!

Higher yields, less waste etc.

My quibble is not with GE or GMO per se, my quibble is that farmers who have different business models, say wholly organic, are under the shadow of Monsanto’s products.

If Monsanto can effectively quarantine their stuff, no complaints from me, however I doubt they can as nature just does not work like that, things are messy out in the field(s) and the process was never really designed to include/exclude wholly created organisms.
