Monsanto is not so bad if you're in bed with them, they make plants that are more resistant to plagues and hence the farmer using them doesn't need to spray as many chemicals on their crops as everyone else, this is a good thing, it only turns bad when you realize your plants don't live in a contained space and that you are also contaminating the plants nearby (actually it could be kms away), and it turns even worst when Monsanto actively goes after your neighbor cause he was unlucky enough to be a neighbor of someone using OGM crops.

The least Monsanto could do is to offer the neighbors at a FRAND price new seeds (OGM free) each year in a way that they will not use the OGM contaminated seeds from last year.

There are three sides of the story but not the ones you point, there are the farmers that happily use Monsanto seeds, the ones who chose to not use them and the others who don't care about it, the last two are the ones that will eventually get Monsanto knocking on their doors claiming they are using seeds with their patented genes.
