    <quote><p>Great, you're free to have those agreements but Bowman didn't sign it.</quote>

    Bowman must have signed it because it said in the story that he bought Roundup Ready from Monsanto. What I'm confused about is: Is the "commodity" grain Bowman bought already infused with Roundup Ready genome or are they worried that the yield of the "commodity" grain will be infused due to cross-pollination? If the former then I'm really confused because how could Bowman know? If the latter then I would have to read the T&Cs of the agreement to see if Monsanto said no other grain can be planted within X distance.
