GMO crops are not sterile because terminator technology was never commercialized. However there maybe contractual agreements that many prevent replanting. Also many farmers choose not to replant seeds because the next generation may of plants may not be uniform in desired characteristics. I think the situation is worse for the seeds of hybrid plants.
