Comment Re: Monsanto's harvest of fear (Score 1) 517
Monsanto's dominance stems from the destruction of its European competitors by so-called "activists". The EU was happy to back them and ban GM crops. They had provided a ready made excuse to maintain Europe's barriers to trade as the old barriers came down.
You can re-use wheat 2 or 3 times, then it drifts too far from the parent crop and yield plummets. This is why organic farmers purchase named varieties from seed companies.
