Sorry about the terminology- you are not confusing anything- your friend is confusing you about the subject- which is two different things. Corn hybrids are created by two or more parent crosses, which produce a humongous amount of yield, but their seeds will produce much less. Soybeans are varieties, not hybrids, and the seeds they produce will yield close to what the variety parents yield. Monsanto gets a 'technology fee' of $6 or more per bushel of seed developing soy varieties that tolerate Roundup herbicide, so they protect their investment by requiring growers to sign an agreement not to use that progeny for next year's seed. Will it grow- yes. Has there been talk about developing a 'killer' technology within that seed so it will not grow? Yes. Will they announce that ahead of time????????????or will the farmer find out by planting brown bag seed and not see it sprout?
