All'y all'y in come free.

You're goin down, George.

And after we impeach him, we're going to arrest him and convict him...once we realize fully what the dark side of our nature has done through him.

And then we're going to forgive him, just as God forgives each of us. Like the (I think Mennonite) judge in a cartoon about a poor cattle rustler years ago who said, "Forgive him; it'll teach him a lesson."

The "friendly competition" of hogs:
...Monsanto Plans to Raise Prices
by Matthew Dillon 6/5/8
competitivemarkets.com

A June 3, 2008 report on Monsanto issued by the investment firm Goldman Sachs states that Monsanto plans on raising there prices on seed and RoundUp. Not really a surprise considering the dominance they have in the market for both genetics and glphosate. The GS report says that farmers who are in areas of high disease/insect pressure can expect to pay 30-40% more for their seed, and those with lower pressure a 20% increase.

The company is justifying such huge price increases by noting the benefit their product has on farmers profitability, but I can't help but wonder if Monsanto is bumping the prices based on the recent rise in prices and futures. They kept prices down when they were trying to capture the market and now that they dominate it they are going to extract every penny they can from farmers and divert it into their shareholders portfolios. But are they willing to lower their seed prices if the corn drops back down to below $2.50 bushel?

I seriously doubt it.

Once they spike the price it is here to stay, much as the oil companies have done with gas, generating record corporate profits. The report also states that the Monsanto plans on pushing farmers into purchasing the entire Monsanto enchilada: buying the more expensive triple-stack traits even if you only need RR traits or BT traits. This will save them money on production, inventory management, and marketing - but will tie the farmers into buying more than they necessarily need.

This type of tying is another tool in the Monsanto arsenal for extracting dollars from farmers. It's not serving the farmer-customer it's serving the stockholders. This is the danger of so much concentration in one company; farmers don't have enough options when it comes to shopping elsewhere for their needs. If we went to the barber looking for a trim and he said, "I only offer a hair cut with a shampoo and a perm and you pay for all three," a savvy customer would go elsewhere to get their cut. Unfortunately Monsanto is increasingly the only striped pole in the neighborhood...
