This reminds me of the JD argument. They used everyone else's technology and inventions put a JD stamp on it and half the world thinks it's the greatest thing. I plant some Becks and they have always treated me very well. They have changed the industry and made other companies step up to the plate and offer more services, free replant and sell beans in a known quantity. I for one am glad companies like them exist. Why should they invest in research when other companies are doing it and they can pick and choose which technologies they want to breed into their corn.
