Nearly all Garst brand or Syngenta group beans are r/r, and of course, the same applies to Monsanto's seeds, as the owner of the Roundup patent and the roundup-ready patent.
The r/r patent expires in 2014, after which farmers will still be able to find r/r seeds, or seeds that tolerate its generic glyphosate equivalent. Monsanto also claims that they will not sue farmers who keep r/r seeds from their own crop to replant after the patent expires.
