Them:

A big problem is that farmers are not allowed to use the corn and and grain which they grew themselves on their own field as seeds.

You:

There is so much wrong with this claim . . . intellectual property agreement attached to it. You're not allowed to save modern non-gmo seeds

it was not obvious to me. I am still in doubt thought.

is there a source?

(I am especially sceptical about the quanifiers. "every sjngle,,," is a very strong statement. "You’re not allowed to save modern non-gmo seeds either." implies, that there are no non-gmo seeds, that the farmer could sell, which is also a strong statement)
