Think
you’ll be able to save Roundup Ready seed when its patent expires in 2015?
Not
exactly.
It’s
true that in the first growing season following patent expiration in 2016, you
will be able to save and plant generic Roundup Ready soybean seed. However,
remember that chances are good this seed will contain other characteristics and
traits still protected by patents. This nixes any seed saving plans you may
have.
