My only complaint about Monsanto is that they made it where you can't collect your cotton seeds after you gin (because of the patent on roundup ready) and cotton seeds make great cattle feed.
How would they know what you do with them? Is it good to feed cattle with a pesticide linked to them?
Honest questions

Sounds a lot like a patent Monsanto - or, more crucially, one of its biggest competitors - will buy eventually.

You can still feed cottonseed to cows. Practically all of our seed goes to cattle feed.

And as Monsanto would love for this article to not go viral, all we can ask is that you share, share, share the information being presented so that it can reach as many people as possible.
I'm sure that's exactly what Monsanto is worried about. Always gotta have a big corporate bogeyman right?

exactly...and what people don't realize is that without roundup ready crops, the world's farmers couldn't produce enough food to feed everyone...straight back to the days of famines.
That might have been true decades ago but is no longer true.
Organic farming is producing just as high of yields these days and getting more $ for their crops.

A round up ready crop would be considered a genetically modified organism.
Before round up ready, round up would kill the crop...after genetic engineering, the crop will not succumb to round up...i.e. round up ready.

I bet Monsanto hates him!!!one1!!

Also noteworthy to discuss is that crop productions are not only affected by insect pressures, or weed pressures but FUNGUS pressure as well.
Disease Triangle, yo. Host, environment and pathogen. The producer only controls one of these three.
I could go until I'm blue in the face.

Listen. The Earth has been feeding people for hundreds if not thousands and thousands of years. It's what the Earth does... food production goes up and then it comes back down. All this Roundup Ready Change is just an elaborate hoax in the name of the almighty dollar and you people, literally, eat it up.

Show me the data on this. Maybe on a small scale basis but on large scale I'm pretty sure organic corn is not making 200+ bushels, and organic soybeans are not making 70+ bushels.
I know for a fact that organic rice makes about half or less the yield than commercial rice and rice is not gmo.

The gin can't release them to the farmer anymore. As far as feeding them to cattle, roundup is a herbicide not a pesticide. I'd imagine it's the same as feeding them roundup ready corn, wheat, alfalfa, sorghum, or beans. It's a gene that lets roundup be sprayed on the crop without damaging the plant. It's not an actual herbicide inside the plant.
