You have to realize that everyone who's ever grown a 'RoundUp Ready' crop, has had to sign a Monsanto TSA. In this technology stewardship agreement, it clearly states that farmers will not save the seed and plant it again the following season. Without signing off on this agreement, retailers will not sell you the 'RoundupReady' seed. If you want to save your seed and re-seed the following year, grow a conventional variety. If you want the increased yield + weed control from Monsanto's product, you're going to have to buy it from them, and rightfully so.
