Myth: Monsanto doesn't care
about agriculture and the American farmer. False.
Reality: Monsanto is now
100% Focused on agriculture and the American farmer is Monsanto’s
most important and valued customer. Monsanto must continue to produce
superior products that growers want and sell them at a fair price. Like
any publicly held business they must make a return for investors in the
company. Monsanto can no longer depend on industrial chemicals, sweeteners
or pharmaceutical products. Monsanto reinvests in research and development
everyday to bring future U.S. product to farmers. Additionally, Monsanto
continues to share technologies with public soybean research for improving
yield, disease resistance and quality characteristics.
Myth: U. S. farmers can no
longer save seed. False.
Reality: Farmers
can still save seed for their own farms, as long as it does not contain
patented technologies or varieties
that are sold
under
a “single
use restriction” license. Seeds containing patented
Roundup Ready Soybean technology cannot be saved. Growers who want
to save seed
should discuss this desire with
their seed
supplier and choose
unpatented conventional
soybean seed.
