Why, because without IP encumbrance farmers would be developing their own glyphosate-resistant shikimic acid pathway enzymes?

They're certainly creating and spinning off their own not for profit Grains Research & Development Corporations funded by harvest profits to keep creating variations for ANOVA trials.

Along with doing the same for billion dollar port and rail grain handling spin-offs.

Maybe not the farmers you're thinking of, but farmers in the world are.
