One concern is the possibility of being sued by Monsanto. Monsanto has promised on its website not to sue farmers if there is inadvertent contamination in their crops. OTOH Monsanto has aggressively sued farmers in other cases. So I guess if you are a farmer and there is contamination happening on your fields, it would be wise to be at least a little scared.

They only sue people using their product without a license. They don't sue for natural contamination.

You might not be aware but there is a large anti-GMO conspiracy promoting the idea Monsanto sues farmers for accidental contamination. Even a little bit of research shows it’s mostly if not totally fake.
