In fact, they've been far more open and honest than any of the anti-GMO groups and people.

Are they out for profit? Of course!

Any company that doesn't make a profit goes under.

They aren't pushing "poison," or "trying to destroy the Earth," like the hysterics claim.

That whole line of silliness is just ridiculous and embarrassing.

in how they implemented technology agreements with farmers. And the attempt to introduce Bt potatoes into the Republic or Georgia (NewLeaf GM potato) was apparently a disaster because the potatoes were unusually susceptible to late blight - (Phytophthera infestans). According to some Georgia scientists I talked to, many farmers had whole crops wiped out and it set them back significantly, to the point that GMO and Monsanto are both unpopular with farmers in Georgia. This kind of mistake is really inexcusable for a company of Monsanto's status.

However, having said all that, the idea that Monsanto is evil personified in nonsense. They are a big company trying to make profits. They screw up sometimes, but it is not some grand conspiracy.
