You should watch Food, Inc. on Netflix. They have a segment on Monsanto and how farmers have no choice but to buy seeds from them but the prices are so high most farmers are barely able to keep their businesses running even with subsidies from the Federal Government.
- bluGill 8y agoThe farmers I know watch their finances closely. Because the yields are better they make more money buying from Mansanto despite the higher price of seed. You cannot be a successful farmer without paying close attention to the bottom line (unless you already own all your land).
- rcchyssser 8y agoFood inc is a rage piece. You can buy whatever seed you want. Does it yeild like shit? Sure does. You WANT to buy next gen seeds every year.
- andreakate 8y agoHave you watched it? Seed yield has absolutely nothing to do with the scene I was referring to. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/20/supreme-court-monsanto_n_2720057.html https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/20/supreme-court-mons...
