I will be more than happy to admit that I'm wrong about them, until proven so, however, documentaries have been done on Montsano that show what they are doing. They don't hold patents in crops themselves, but they do hold patents on seeds that have been genetically modified and that's the rub. Crops like wheat have seeds that can get carried away in the wind, thus spreading to other farmland. Farms that don't have the exclusive rights to plant GMO seeds are being sued.
Personally, if the GMO seeds can be used and they yield better crops and in turn, those crops can go to feed starving people, I'm all for it. No one should go hungry. You have a seed that can produce plants which can resist bugs, drought and disease, by all means, get those suckers in the ground and start planting. Let corporate greed stand in the way and it becomes nothing more than a power trip to control food production.
