Agribusiness (Monsanto, ADM, Cargill, etc ad naseaum) is making the attempt to control all seed production. Google has a multitude of info about this. This is why I grow OP and organically for my vegetables. I don't wish to be an alarmist, but, it is getting bad.
Just another example of the above, Cargill are still selling to Iran, regardless the sanctions enacted by the UN and USA. Profit above all else, even the saftey of all humanity!
