Farmers claim Monsanto has been gathering excessive profits from renewal seed harvests, from crops planted using seed from the previous years harvest. Because Monsanto owns the patent to the genetically modified seed, the company charges farmers a royalty fee for the original crops and also for later harvests.
Monsanto gets paid when it sell the seeds. The law gives producers the right to multiply the seeds they buy and nowhere in the world is there a requirement to pay (again).
