I'm not a farmer, so I don't have a dog in this fight-----not even an opinion. I am curious to see how you guys come down on the issue, however.
I read today that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case concerning an Indiana farmer who has been saving Roundup Ready soybeans from his harvest and planting them the next year. He has apparently been doing this for several years. Monsanto says it's a clear violation of whatever patent restrictions they impose on such second-generation re-use.
I don't know enough about it to comment. Any opinions?
