Hmmm....does Monsanto also sell pesticides, perhaps?

Monsanto engineers the corn and then patents it. That means that a farmer can not legally save seed corn he has to purchase new from Monsanto every year.

It would be a wash if the farmer purchased the insecticide or the engineered corn.

These super bugs are natures answer to the toxic chemicals Monsanto already uses on corn - not just for ethanol, but for human consumption. Almost 100% of prepared foods have some form of this Chemical/GMO's corn it them...So do 90% of our soybeans and beet sugar. If you haven't, I strongly suggest you watch the movie "Food, Inc" You can get clips on YouTube. IT's you and your family's health they are playing with. If you're eating the stuff, you are supporting them in this.

Nature, perhaps, will have the last laugh - but it will take years, maybe decades to heal the soil...

excerpt:
“Typically, corn farmers have had to rotate corn crops to minimize pest pressures. But with Bt corn, many simply planted “corn on corn,” year after year.”

In their haste to control the worlds food supply (Dictators Creed: He who controls the food, controls the people.) they forget what the Irish learned the hard way.

They grew one potato crop and without rotation. The crops were overtaken with disease and brought on the Great Famine.

I grew up on my grandparents farm in the ‘40’s. Grampa always rotated crops - changing his garden spot and planting clover in the old one to replenish the ground with nutrients.

The neighbors grew potatoes for a living - always rotated -
The simplest of farmers know this.

Well, by golly, I think they do.

What a weird coinky-dink!
