I grow a GM crop planted with seed developed by Monsanto. I don't have a problem with them prohibiting me from collecting its seed for planting. I have plenty of other options and could buy seed from other companies but I make the decision it's worth it for me.

Some people will complain about it and think they should be able to plant seeds with the genes put in place by Monsanto even though they agreed not to. The cases that I think really stinks is where someone plants a crop and he genetically modified crops of neighbors cross-breed with it and then Monsanto sometimes will take legal action to prohibit them from planting the seed from their own crop even though they've never made an agreement to do so. Sometimes it is gray as someone will intentionally plant something next to a neighbor that they wouldn't otherwise. In other cases, I think Monsanto should be buying them replacement seed. Many times it is hard to tell, though.
