> With 80%+ of corn grown in the US being from Monsanto seeds
As a grower of corn, I find that pretty hard to believe. Pioneer, a DuPont company, has a presence that is as large as Dekalb, Monsanto's brand. There are also several more smaller players. A quick search of my own suggests that Dekalb and Pioneer own 70% of the market together[1], which seems more realistic based on my experiences of buying corn seed.
