"I shouldn't have to remind you that it isn't the traits that make the yield but the germ plasm. The traits are there simply to protect the yield available in any given year.Your logic is flawed on many levels, if we are looking for yield we should go backwards and use fewer traits to create more yield?"
Have you heard of cost/benefit ratios? How does the added cost of adding the Rup trait in corn at a cost to the farmer of around $50 per bag benefit/protect the farmer. Dekalb does not offer hibreds in my maturities without the Rup trait, so my option is to drop DeKalb corn.
"One more thing I saw where you said a great way to increase profits and pay shareholders? The answer is no, not really."
When were you born?
