What about the number of Monsanto legal actions against those not under contract to them? Contract disputes are one thing, taking action against one not under contract because of DNA issues of crops is entirely different.
GMO crops are no big deal to me, the overbearing brutality of how Monsanto works is where I have my problem with them. The federal government has far too much control over our food production, whether it be with subsidies or siding with companies such as Monsanto and that federal control needs to be reined in.
I primarily plant heirloom crops, but do enjoy several specific hybrids which I regularly plant. But I also like playing with the seeds of those hybrids by saving some for another planting and seeing what I come up with. It's a fun, and harmless little hobby, but one that some frown upon, which is why Monsanto (among others) seek to patent their seeds and then come after those who have crops that show some of "their" DNA.
Maybe you could list them here. Every judgment I've seen clearly shows that the defendant violated the agreement/law. Any grower who purchases Monsanto patented seeds has to sign a Monsanto Technology/Stewardship Agreement.
Even though the left, and some FReepers, argue that Monsanto is evil personified, farmers choose Monsanto's products of their own free will year after year. There has to be a reason for this, and maybe it's because Monsanto delivers the products that makes farmers more productive, and their farms more profitable. Monsanto does not place a gun to their customer's heads and force them to buy their seeds.
Monsanto aggressively protects their intellectual property. So what? So does Apple. You never hear the left calling Apple the spawn of Satan because they protect their property. Go figure.
