Monsanto, by the way, couldn't care less whether you saved and replanted the next generation of their seed corn. Hybrid seeds don't reproduce to type.

Golly, then I guess we are about to see a share holders lawsuit where the share holders of Monsanto sue management for misfeasance for wasting so much company money threatening and engaging in litigation.

/sarcasm

My point wasn't that Monsanto was hurt by seed saving, my point was that Monsanto is using the courts to destroy seed savers.

Your point is wholly mistaken. Nobody saves corn to use as seed. Virtually all corn (certainly all corn in which Monsanto would have any interest) is hybrid and hybrid corn doesn't reproduce according to type.

It may be that your source is confusing corn and soybeans (which are self pollinating). But, it's kinda hard to carry on a serious colloquy about an information source that doesn't know the difference between corn and soybeans.
