US Justice Department and USDA to Investigate Monsanto
Hearings in Iowa are to begin to investigate possible antitrust activities of Monsanto.
What do you think? Is the fact that 92% of America’s soybeans and 85% of corn are being grown with Monsanto’s seeds a problem? Is it just as Monsanto claims that they have a superior product so it’s natural for farmers to want to grow their seeds?
Is it normal that in 2000 enough seeds to plant an acre of Round Up ready soybeans cost $17 and now ten years later as much $50? I guess this is just inflation.
