A serious question about GM SEEDS

::::::::

This question actually occurred to me while writing another post.

No articles i have read, or  people spoken to, have an answer, though I certainly would like one, and I am sure the triad  of happy GM Men will rush to allay my suspicions...maybe?

Here it is.

WHY? are all GM seeds taken off farm, and new seed must be purchased every season?

Now they do say -so that the royalties are paid, and so no one can escape paying Monsanto their just rewards(hmm?)

However I am seriously wondering if it is simply because, if they did retain seed and plant it, there would be a very poor and possible rather odd? crop produced?

To my knowledge, they are NOT All ( -some are )-sold as a hybrid, that will not breed true in following generations, but are Supposedly? very stable.

With just a perfectly placed genetic alteration, if? you believe Monsanto.

I do not.And the African saga supports that issue.

The transport, handling and production costs for producing new seed every season, would be staggeringly large and energy intensive.

Now if? these products were stable reliable and able to produce seed that could be replanted, it seems extremely odd to me that all that expense is incurred.

Especially when they need to force countries to grow their crops, to keep their teensy purse from going bare. No country is allowed not to help make them richer....

So a challenge to Brad Robert and Karl,

Give me and the world a believable answer! WHY? are the nonhybrids not allowed to be replanted?

One someone could actually duplicate. Without being accused of bad science poor growing skills, or "stealing?" seed.

 

An Aussie who is disgusted at chem farming,gm and synth foods and big pharma. I study soil biota, and work with bees,what i see is worrying.
