Perhaps so, but it was grown on his property and it was accepted that he
never planted it originally.It is not enough for Monsanto to have
developed a seed that is resistant to Round Up, another Monsanto
product, and to charge a premium for it. They expect to get a percentage
of it every year it is resown.
