Yes but then the seed of that corn is not viable so you have to buy more Monsanto seed. You cannot save seeds and the heirlooms become cross pollinated and then Monsanto wants money from you because "their genes" got into your corn which also becomes sterile for future planting.
Monsanto has it so that you can only get one planting and you have to buy from them every year. Farmers cannot save their seeds anymore nor can they do their own cross pollination.
But maybe that doesn't matter to you as long as you can buy food in the supermarket.
The farmer who was sued by Monsanto in Canada purely was harvesting Roundup Ready crops. He suspected that some were on his property and intentionally sprayed the entire field with Roundup to find it and then proceeded to collect the seeds to sow his field anew.
It's like Monsanto sued him because they are pure evil. They did it because he intentionally tried to circumvent buying it directly from them.

That may be the exception rather than the rule. More innocent farmers get their fields contaminated because the field across the road is GMO corn and the wind blows or the grain trucks pass their field loaded with GMO seed. And the farmers have no recourse in court.
They are sued for "patent infringement" by Monsanto.
Monsanto has even filed a patent on breeding methods for pigs.
Anyone using that method owes Monsanto patent money or else can get sued for "patent infringement".
Monsanto is trying to control the food supply through the government and courts. In essence, they are living up to the communist ideal and anyone who supports their efforts is a communist.

if it's the exception rather than the rule, show us 'rule' examples.

monsanto's swine unit was bought out years ago by a french group.
I meant to say that Monsanto is acting more along the lines of national socialism, but basically the term is interchangeable with communism.
Just tell Monsanto they have to create "ecobubbles" to prevent any of their inferior seeds from contaminating neighboring farms, or else face massive lawsuits and more purges of their property. See what they think about that.

This infuriates me. I think the farmers should be able to sue Monsanto when their Frankenseed blow into and pollinate in their fields. Monsanto seeds are ruining fields and the farmers get sued? Crazy! What's even crazier is Obama's ties to Monsanto. There is more to this story than meets the eye, and I don't think it's good.

If you haven't been following this then you'd need to google the various stories of farmers going to jail and being sued for patent infringement over the years.
I stopped growing corn myself (heirloom seeds on a small scale) because I'm surrounded by GMO corn fields.

How are they supposed to prevent their fields from contamination with Monsanto seeds?

Burn the crops down.
...or just instantly fine them $100 million for each provable and reported case of cross pollination through a "rocket docket" similar to FL foreclosure cases.
They'll quickly find a way to prevent cross pollination.
