Occult Mafia 2000 Posted April 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) FARGO, N.D. – Those attending the recent International Sugarbeet Institute in Fargo got a glimpse of what the future of agriculture is going to look like. That peek into the future was made possible by the keynote speaker Robert Fraley, Ph.D., the executive vice president and chief technology officer at Monsanto. In addition, he is often recognized as the father of agricultural … Source : The Prairie Star News Edited April 22, 2017 by Vampiric Ruby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rashore Posted April 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm not too surprised by this. There are a handful of companies that produce GMO seed at this time as well as the plethora of chemicals organic and synthetic that go into farming practices. There used to be a lot of companies, but now it's a few giants and a few small companies. It always cracks me up to see "guaranteed non-GMO" on home gardener seeds and seed catalogs- those companies can't sell GMO seed to the regular home gardener, they can only do it under contract with a farmer and the government. I've got nothing against GMO itself- it can be a good tool of science. But I've never liked Monsanto one bit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some talented biotech scientist instead of establishing his own small company, joins "giants". Why? Because morons will firebomb your lab, destroy experimental crops, or even kill you.

First off youre completely ignoring the overall trend of just about every industry being bought up by one or two major players, thats how the 21st century works. Secondly though you can largely thank Monsanto themselves for the proliferation of us "anti-GMO idiots". Until they decided to become a 4th branch of government with their own lobbyists and military the majority of us "anti GMO idiots" were simply folks who wanted to put natural unadulterated food into our bodies. Now the empire has unintentionally created an entire cottage industry of folks who oppose them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I wonder how felt people who ate 'killer zucchini' - pretty much "natural unadulterated" food, even more, grown "organically"... Boomer. Ah, and yeah, ever heard of Lenape potatoes? Google it.
