Ontario | Star Ag, if you had been through the experiences I have been through with DeKalb and Monsanto in the last 12 months; you would think differently.
Monsanto does a lot of P.R. like any company with lots of $. (But what is going on behind the scene?)
The whole point of my posts on Monsanto is: If you give them all your business (put all your eggs in one basket), someday that's all you will have.
Is it that hard during the course of your dealings with this company to voice your concerns to managers, dealers, etc. over the treatment of some farmers? AND to ask that they consider changes? SHOULD ANYONE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS?
Or is monsanto the "Son of God" and could never ever possibly have done anything wrong?
If this is the blind eye you want give... the blank cheque... to what is going on behind the scene's, then what more can I say?
But I have had discussions with several seed companies this past year, that put out quite a different position of what's happening.
AND LOOKEY HERE: KIPLINGER PROMOTING MONSANTO STOCK (Love that independent source of information you've provided here?????) WHO WILL PAY FOR IT? AND WHO IS GOING TO PROFIT FROM IT?

10 Stocks for the Next 10 Years
You can rest easy knowing these companies will deliver consistent returns over the long haul.
October 27, 2008
MONSANTO (MON). Monsanto has emerged as one of the great growth stocks of this decade, returning an annualized 44% over the past five years. The world is hungry for grain, meat and ethanol. Monsanto's high-tech seeds, genomics and herbicides boost the productivity of corn, soybean, cotton and wheat farms. Monsanto's seed technology is years ahead of competitors', and its market penetration is expanding worldwide, to cropland in places such as Brazil and Argentina.
Yes, it has its critics, who complain of Monsanto's business practices. But earnings have compounded by 41% annually over the past five years. Wall Street thinks this rate of profit growth will exceed 30% annualized over the next three to five years. Its 10-year horizon looks bright.
