No, he didn't save the seeds he contractually agreed not to when he made his purchase from Monsanto. The case is about commodity seeds he bought from a grain elevator that happened to include Monsanto seeds. Those seeds were not covered by the original contract, but Monsanto is claiming the right to extend that contract at will.
