Roundup Ready Soybeans
Myths and Realities 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. |
