- kls 7y agoExactly there was a case of one farmer who did not buy GM stock all of the farms around him did, the genes crossed into his stock and he was sued for not buying the stock. GM buyers are not allowed to reseed it is IP theft according to law. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2001/03/30/farmer-liable-for-growing-biotech-crops/e4d32d97-a3d8-4ab7-9f69-d49bcc88198a/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2001/03/30/f...
