    Of course I'm the problem. I'm incorporated, therefore I'm evil. I'm wondering if you plan on addressing that comment. I would like to point out that I don't like Monsanto, but because of their business practices. When talking about roundup, Re you comparing it to the previous method of extreme amounts of DDT and Atrazine? Both many times worse for the environment. Or are you thinking of a Mexican powered horde of weed pickers that migrate from field to field? Perhaps they sing Kumbaya and hold hands around the campfire in your Utopia?

    There are many more issues not being addressed that are eons worse than GMO's. take a gander at the damage that fert and herbicide runoffs from lawns do. What about the overcrowding of the southwest area and the water issues?
    no, you and your podunk farm aren't are THE problem, but if you grow GMO and saturate it with chemicals, then you are PART of the problem.

    runoffs from lawns and esp golf course, that waste Ms of tons of water, esp the western desert, also a big problem.

    Rising seed prices have been countered with a herbicide program thats pennies on the dollar to implement. It's cheaper to do this. But thanks for responding about a environment sustainability issue with an economic post.

    I'd suggest finding a new search engine for your copy/pastes. Perhaps sorting by relevancy or adding a few more words to the search would help.
    they will keep raising seed prices as soon as they fully own all the key seed lines, AND then modify them so they are patented. they will raise prices until you scream, and they'll say " you, farmers, you've go no choice now HA HA HA!"

    how the can you divorce economics from environmental sustainability when economics (profits trump everything else) s up the environment?

    Sigh, the whole point of GMO'S were so you can throw one simple relatively harmless chemical instead of the kitchen sink at it.

    There's a separate market for non GMO'S. they can't own that.

    What's your break even price for the environment then if they are intertwined?

    The fertilizer and chemicals are a bigger problem. See, there is no roundup ready grass that I know of. It's the other chemicals that are bad for the environment.
