[QUOTE]Originally posted by Machiavelli: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [qb] ADM is not a seed producer. they are processors of grain. [b] COMPANY OVERVIEW The Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing, and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. The Company’s operations are classified into three reportable business segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations are aggregated and classified as Other. [/b] Cargill is the same... Monsanto, Dow and Syngenta control who gets planting seed and how much they pay for it. [b]worldwide.[/b] over the last decade these three have bought out most all of their smaller compettitors, thereby coming up against the DOJ anti-trust regulators recently when Monsanto bought out Delta Pine and Land.... [/qb][/QUOTE]Without processing and/or distribution it doesn't matter who gets what seed. Therefor Cargill & ADM among others have more power. You really should read up more on Cargill/ADM and see the power they wield "privately" in food as well as in politics etc. Some facts about Cargill: As of 2007, it is the second largest privately owned company in the USA[6] (Koch Industries is first). In fiscal year 2007, Cargill declared revenues of $88.3 billion USD, and earnings of $2.34 billion USD.[7] It is responsible for 25 percent of all United States grain exports. It supplies approximately 22 percent of the United States domestic meat market. It employs over 158,000 employees at 1,100 locations in 66 countries.[8] Some interesting books to read about these companies (read the customer reviews to get a feel for these books contents if you do not wish to read the whole book): [URL=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0595142109/ref=s9_asin_title_1/102-2515516-8810568?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=1G9QJA06ZVYRPXTBZS79&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=311499101&pf_rd_i=507846]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0595142109/ref=s9_asin_title_1/102-2515516-8810 568?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=1G9QJA06ZVYRPXTBZS79&pf_rd_t= 101&pf_rd_p=311499101&pf_rd_i=507846[/URL] [URL=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1568582188/ref=pd_cp_b_3/102-2515516-8810568?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_r=1YJJJ7D3QDZ3ZCG786K9&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=252362401&pf_rd_i=0595142109]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1568582188/ref=pd_cp_b_3/102-2515516-8810568?pf _rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_r=1YJJJ7D3QDZ3ZCG786K9&pf_rd_t=201&p f_rd_p=252362401&pf_rd_i=0595142109[/URL] [URL=http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Giant-Cargill-Transnational-Strategies/dp/0745319580/ref=pd_sim_b_1/102-2515516-8810568]http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Giant-Cargill-Transnational-Strategies/dp/074531 9580/ref=pd_sim_b_1/102-2515516-8810568[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
