I don't know the story outside India. In India farmers are not educated . They simply trust the words of seed seller.(Monsanto indirectly though.

Many cotton farmers have been pulled down because of these genetically modified cotton seeds. Reason its completely new to them and every time the tree is infected by a disease they have no other option but go to Monsanto for pesticides and help to identify the disease.

There is monopoly with Monsanto. Monopoly is no good in the long run.

Government is a joke.We don't have great leaders anymore and bunch of selfish business and salaried men like me . :(
