Seed Money

I guess sometimes you spend so much time pounding the big corporations that get ink around the country you forget about the one in your back yard.  With all the talk of corn lately we practically have it coming out of our asses.

Well that is just the way DuPont wants it apparently. Did you know that DuPont Co., [is] the largest U.S. corn-seed producer.

Seed makers can charge more for domestic corn than for other crops because it typically contains more genetic modifications. Corn also is the most fertilizer-intensive crop, increasing sales of nitrogen.

Who knew?  I would assume DuPont is in the Nitro business too.  

So while the gas consumption becomes more inefficient due to Ethanol thank DuPont, I’m sure they have been “pushing” for it’s success.
