Yes, this is very new. Doesn't mean that it's bad though. That's why you'll probably see more farms that have grain cleaners become certified seed companies, so they can buy the seed straight from Monsanto or another company and not have to pay as much if they were buying from a different seed company. Monsanto will never have a monopoly though, they'll just have a large share of the market.

More than 80% of US corn and more than 90% of soybeans planted each year are attributable to Monsanto

Why I understand that, this whole contract thing is new to the seed business!! For decades farms could buy seed and collect seed from the crop if they desired and replant the next generation of crop... Now Monsanto since they've patented their GMO's are cornering the Market with these contracts and forcing out other seed companies, good business strategy hell yes.... But they are turning into a huge monopoly and in the long run that is never good!!

If they don't make a profit, then they go out of business, costing thousands upon thousands of people a job.

With the amount of research and time that they put into their craft, I say they deserve the right to make money.

Welcome to Capitalism Sandy, it's a beautiful thing.

Agree to disagree. Theres a plethora of ways than they could hang onto their 20000 employees, and make formidable amounts of profit WHILE remaining ethical. You seem to disagree.


It's definitely a mere matter of time before they start working on commercializing Terminator Seeds despite 'their pledge' not to do so

This link is about the law suit filled by Monsanto against a farmer who is reusing the seeds from his plants bought from Monsanto!! It resting enough if this Farmer wins the case and allows other farmers around the world to do the same thing, I could see Monsanto producing sterile seeds to continue there buisnes dominance in this feild!

This also give some #'s on there share of the market.. Getting monopoly like!!

How on earth is this unethical? Just because it's a new practice does not make it unethical. I will repeat myself, it is their product, that they developed, and they have the right to protect it.

That farmer also knows that he is not allowed to do that. Monsanto should win the case, because when you buy their seed, you agree that you will not replant the seeds. If anybody has poor ethics in this case, it's the farmer for going back on the contract and trying to save himself money.
 
This thread is about 9 months too late. Much like colon cancer, if you don't catch it early, it can really ruin your day and/or message board.

I agree....

The biggest business concern I have is if they continue on this path that they will be a monopoly, but if that does happen I'm sure the Fed will step in and handle it..


Here my biggest problem with GMO's and other transgenic organism created that may be consumed by us humans...

By altering the genome of these organisms we are essential acting as natural selection and evolving these organisms at an alarming rate, why we Homo sapiens aren't evolving at the same rate like what has happened for the past 3+ million years!!

.
The word homo is Latin, in the original sense of "human being", or "man" (in the gender-neutral sense). The word "human" itself is from Latin humanus, an adjective cognate to homo, both thought to derive from a Proto-Indo-European word for "earth" reconstructed as *dhǵhem-.[7]
