Article- Monsanto spreads roots into modified produce

The consolidation of the seed industry sped up several years ago. The quote below is very telling......

'Monsanto’s goal: to dominate today’s $3 billion global market for produce seeds, much as it already has done with corn and soybeans.
“This isn’t a hobby. … We’re serious about it,” said Monsanto Chief Executive Hugh Grant, who expects the company’s vegetable-seed revenue to rival its $1.5 billion soybean business in the next decade.'

Save your own seeds. Preservation of genetic diversity is a must.
