Think about it: many farmers today are growing genetically-modified crops. (80% of soybean grown in the US is GMO) Because ag corporations invest a lot of time, research, and money in developing the seed, they literally "own" it. It's like taking a picture and allowing a magazine to publish it. You still own the picture, but you are allowing the publisher to "borrow" it for a specific purpose. Seed companies are "allowing" farmers to plant GMO seed, but they do NOT give them permission to save seeds from those crops from year to year. They spent money to develop it, they own it. It's actually illegal for the farmer to save seeds from genetically modified crops in many cases. Indeed, some crops are bio-engineered so that the seed produced will not grow even if the farmer *is* willing to break the law! I believe it's VERY important for private individuals to maintain their own lines of seed.
