Nefarious 2.0 posted:its cool when their lovely roundup ready(tm) crops blow into a neighboring field and then they sue the owner of that field for stealing their precious roundup ready(tm) crops I can understand hating the players in the game but Monsanto is in a niche created by the lack of funding to socialized research institutions to keep them competitive with private industry so any rage at Monsanto should probably be split with raging at your government representatives for lining their pockets with bribes and not ear marking more money for socialized innovation.

Well, I just want to say congratulations to Monsanto, keep on making crops and special seeds and pursue whatever other dreams you want to set your efforts to.We all believe in you. You got it, Kid!

Farmers who aren't subsidized by the government are pretty hosed. So justice for the sheep I guess.

Bert Roberge posted:Farmers who aren't subsidized by the government are pretty hosed. Not necessarily, but it costs a ton of money to run a farm (a new combine is like $500,000) and there tends to be boom and bust cycles in farming so if you're not extremely good at planning for the future it's easy to get in a very bad financial situation when crop prices get really low. Like right now for instance. We've got the biggest corn harvest in history this year but prices are so low that it's very difficult for anyone to make a profit.

Monsanto kind of did fund the research Norman Borlaug used to end the food shortages in Mexico and India. They kind of get a break for saving over a billion people from starving to death.

a hole-y ghost posted:It's good but monocropping based on a single variety that they use as a base for transgenic crops is bad, for the same reason that monocropping is bad. A common misconception! What they do (and they do this with genes that are conventionally bred into crops too) is they take the variety with the new gene you want and cross it with another variety that you want to put the gene into so that you've got a 50/50 mix between the two and then you only select the offspring that have the gene you want. Then you cross those with the variety you're still trying to get the gene into and you select for only the ones that have the gene you want again. So at this point you have plants that are 75% genetically the same as the variety you want plus they all have the gene you want from the other variety. You just keep crossing until you've done it about 7 times and now you're more than 99% genetically the same as the variety you want AND all of your plants have the new gene. So you've got a brand new gene from a completely different variety but you've kept almost all of the traits and diversity from the plant you started with. The term for this is backcrossing. There's a ton of genetic diversity in our crops even if they mostly look the same and a lot of them all have the same single gene or handful of genes that have been added transgenically. Except for stuff like bananas that's reproduced clonally but that's a whole different problem. Actual monocropping isn't super common in the US because it depletes the gently caress out of your soil and makes pests and diseases much worse. Most people use crop rotation because it's just better.

Roylicious posted:GMOs have saved billions from starvation, a fact the rich liberals like to ignore. I like GMOs a lot but frankly this isn't really true. Modern farming practices absolutely have done this but GMOs have mainly served to increase food production in developed countries and only in the past 20 years or so. There are lots of new and exciting advances in genetic technology happening all the time though so I certainly hope they can save/help a bunch of people in poorer areas someday! It would certainly help if Greenpeace and the like stopped making it as difficult as possible for Golden Rice and other projects to get approved. dookifex_maximus posted:nuh uh it evolved itself to be roundup ready Weeds certainly have  Plant breeding is a constant battle against evolution.

monsanto is good b/c we need to be working towards robotic fully automated/remote controlled farming in the shithole worthless cultural vacuum flyover states. develop the supercorn, evacuate all human life to the coasts, neutron bomb the rest, no more will we allow our children to grow up in places like hays, ks or minot, nd
