I'm in total agreement with you there. I had to wait a few seconds for my brain
to reboot after reading Scalia's comment and realizing that I agreed with him.
There's a first time for everything I guess.
And to answer Justice Kennedy's
question "do you leave them in the ground any longer?" No. One should clean
the beans of foreign material so as to not clog up the planter and one should
measure the germination rate on a small sample to arrive at the expected
population per acre. But the plants used to grow seed and the plants to grow
feed for livestock all are allowed to mature to the same stage.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I wonder what the attractiveness level to the current crops compared with the
sterile crops would be. Something tells me it'd be so much less attractive
they'd be hard pressed to have 1% of the crops let alone the estimated 90% they
currently have.
I grew up on farms. I can tell you: seeds that produce
one generation of plants and go sterile would not be bought by me at any
price.

And remember, the farmer may actively want to *not* be using Roundup Ready
technology, in order to maintain 'organic' credentials, but have been polluted
by
a surrounding farm, and Monstanto are very happy to sue in those circumstances
too.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Doesn't this seem like a section 1
violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act?
I'd guess seed silos would be
able to confirm the restraint of trade effect on their sales for plantable seeds
through silo contamination by Monsanto based crops. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
