Because engineered crops cross polinate other crops. There by preventing the NON bio grower from recieving the normal permium for a NON bio Crop. Once you sign the "devil's agreement " you cannot sue them for cross polination..
If my neighbor wants to grow a seed production field or a non gmo crop for a premium then it is up to HIM to see to it that necessary buffers are in place to keep that crop 'pure'. It is NOT up to me (or some biotech company) to provide his buffers.
By your logic you can sue your neighbor whenever his pollen (GMO or not) moves into your property or vice-versa. What a god-awful mess you are advocating.
I use to raise sugar beets. I do not care for the wording in the "teck agreement" that allows Monsanto to "amend the contract at thier descrecion" & that once you have signed the agreement you were bound for life. 1 of the reasons I am no longer a beet grower, I already had seen what companys can do with those kind of agreements.
We can quibble about the agreement, but I think it's a moot point. When I buy or rent a DVD, I don't sign an agreement to not make a pirated copy of it, but I know damn well if I do I'm breaking the law.
