- zzzeek 9y agoOrganic farms don't use Monsanto GMO seeds. they haven't died.
- neolefty 9y agoIt's a major undertaking to switch from conventional to organic farming. Much more labor intensive, can take a few years for pesticide residues to dissipate, not even possible in some location due to neighbors. Not something most farmers are in a position to do, at least for their entire acreage.
- Chris_Jay 9y agoIt seems that farming with Monsanto seed is just a slower death sentence.
- nothrabannosir 9y agoLife is a slow death sentence. Who will commit suicide to protest Death?
- neolefty 9y agoThere are other seed companies that are competitive with Monsanto's traits. Pioneer, Syngenta.
- BenjiWiebe 9y agoPioneer and some other company I can't think of right now seem to be the main seed companies around here, not Monsanto. And central Kansas is definitely farming country.
- chefkoch 9y agoMonsanto, DuPont and Syngenta are the big players in the seed market. So i guess their products are more or less in the same league.
- thriftwy 9y agoWhy run farm without their seed? Can't you be buying their seed while suing their ass off? If Monsanto think they can stop selling you their wares because they don't like you they should be dissolved today.
