| If a farmer plants the same crop three seasons in a | | | | water, saving the farmer from a massive hardship as |
| row he might like to have the non-terminating, but if | | | | less water often means poor yields. Monsanto must |
| he plants winter wheat and regular wheat he gets | | | | have some ROI on their R and D otherwise they will |
| paid by the purity as part of his yield and therefore, | | | | stop trying, and last time I checked we need GM |
| would prefer the terminating, having no left over | | | | drought resistant corn for ethanol which uses little |
| seeds growing within his ranks. Also he can plant GM | | | | water without turning the World into a Giant GM one |
| one year when needed for Ethanol and then another | | | | size fits all crop. We need to solve hunger problems |
| type later for another purpose. Which means it is a | | | | with less water for a growing world population, |
| very good thing not to mix and this solves a need of | | | | Monsanto and companies like them are able to help. |
| the market, purity of product and higher prices paid | | | | Should the farmer plant GM Terminator seeds from |
| to the farmer (who is leveraged on the commodity | | | | Monsanto? Well lets let them decide that and let |
| side also so he is downside protected in case of poor | | | | them make that decision for what is best for the |
| yields that season), it ain't easy being a farmer these | | | | farmer. They have had enough hardships over the |
| days. Farming is a tough row to hoe these days | | | | years, if GM seeds help them and there are buyers |
| nearly 50% of the family farmers in the US were | | | | of GM crops around the world, then that in itself |
| unable to make it in the couple of decades, it is a | | | | answers the question; Should Farmers Plant GM |
| travesty. | | | | Terminator Seeds? Sure they should if they so |
| In years of droughts certain GM seeds use less | | | | desire. |
