They don't -have- to buy them. Monsantos big thing is roundup ready crops (and that's good for them...because their patent on roundup is either up or about to be up). So you can plant their corn and not use roundup - if you like...but if you do, their corn doesn't die when it;s hit with glyphosate. The weeds die, the corn doesn't, yield goes up (and your cost of production goes down because you don;t have to manage the weeds mechanically or with "wasteful" undercropping). If you don't use roundup ready corn and you spray your field with glyphosate - the corn dies along with the weeds. GMO's absolutely will grow the same as any hybrid - you don't have to buy anything else, but you get the most bang for your buck if you buy the full system (when applicable). You'd think that terminator seed would be good, if people were worried about roundup corn escaping the fields and becoming a problem ala kudzu, btw.
