Your statement that farmers don't usually replant their own seeds isn't entirely correct. When seed prices fall farmers usually do one of two things to avoid selling corn at too much of a loss. If they also raise livestock, they will feed as much corn to the livestock as they can. If they do not have livestock, then they replant some of the seed.
Monsanto's rule about not being able to replant the seed sometimes forces farmers to sell corn at a loss. And, I don't feel that is right.
If you like architecture check out Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio in Oak Park, IL. http://www.wrightplus.org/
If you like Mark Twain check out Hannibal, MO. It's at least cheap.
