Seeing how I don’t believe in Patented seeds and have a particular animosity towards Monsanto I can loudly proclaim that I don’t care. The more food for the world the merrier.

Agree to some points there, now if Monsanto had to play by the rules all their mid sized competition had to then I would say you were wrong.

That being said I don’t understand why they didn’t just wait for a rainy day during planting seasonand just raid the seed box of a parked planter instead of digging inthe dirt for seeds...

But then again I grew up on a farm...

so you promote stealing other’s ideas and hard work because ‘the world’ is somehow entitled to it free of charge?

It takes 7 to 10 years to develop a new hybrid corn. That’s a lot of tractor work, a lot of water and a lot of sweat from farmers.

P.S. “dent” or field corn is pretty much inedible unless heavily processed.
