<<Are you seriously arguing that GMO seeds, which make huge profits for companies like Monsanto, are more profitable for farmers to use?

GMO corn, $80 per bag, produces 180 bushels per acre. @2.50 per bushel the gross is $450. Net is $370.

Open pollinated corn, $40 per bag produces 60 bushels per acre. @$2.50 per bushel the gross is $150. Net is $110.
