Abstract

Sorenne and I only got through the start of The Colbert Report this morning before it was off to vaccinations, so this post is somewhat late. But Stefan did take an excellent shot at more food wackiness being peddled on the Internet and insisted on his home herb garden, because, “I refuse to live in a world where I can’t garnish.”

ST. LOUIS -- Corn and soybean harvest results for 2009 confirm that Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) seed products maintained a significant yield advantage compared with competitors, and new technologies such as Genuity™ SmartStax corn and Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans are delivering a step change in performance.

Following biosafety and other required assessments, the Philippines' Department of Agriculture approved Syngenta's GA21 corn for commercial cultivation in the country. The GM corn expresses the EPSPS protein, an enzyme responsible for tolerance to glyphosate herbicides. The country has been importing GA21 corn for food and feed use since 2003.
