Apparently, it is now illegal to sue Monsanto.

I prefer the plants themselves to "manufacture" their seeds.

Then buy those seeds; not the Monsanto seeds that claim to grow sterile crops. Many farmers do not want your preference.

Genetic innovation means more options. And crops that can adapt to a farmers environment and needs. I have no idea why anyone would want to stifle invention and innovation.

I found the chart at agrimarketing.com. they got the info from Farm Journal.

This is the notation for the chart of market share.
Five Years of Seed Market Share: Company/brand consolidations and genetic performance continue to drive changes in seed market shares. One share point of seed corn in the U.S. market in 2014 (90.9 acres at 31,500 planting rate) represents 357,000 standard units of sales at an estimated retail value of $107 million. One share point of soybean seed in 2014 (84.2 million acres at 140,000 planting rate) represents 842,000 standard units of sales at an estimated retail value of $50 million.

If I remember, the Syngenta purchase is the address the glyphosate resistant crop problem. Monsanto is big into genetic modification. But is not strong in pesticide development. Intent was to create a new pesticide/genetic crop combination to do what was originally done with glyphosate. So that farmers can rotate their crops - to eliminate problems associated with only using one product - as described earlier in post 24
