The Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) is a U.S.-based multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. It is the world's leading producer of the herbicide glyphosate, marketed as "Roundup". Monsanto is also the leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed; it sells 90% of the US's GE seeds. It is headquartered in Creve Coeur, Missouri. Agracetus, owned by Monsanto, exclusively produces Roundup Ready soybean seed for the commercial market. In 2005, it finalized purchase of Seminis Inc, making it the world's largest conventional seed company. Monsanto's development and marketing of genetically engineered seed and bovine growth hormone, as well as its aggressive litigation, political lobbying practices, seed commercialization practices and "strong-arming" of the seed industry have made the company controversial around the world and a primary target of the alter-globalization movement and environmental activists. As a result of its business strategies and licensing agreements, Monsanto came under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department in 2009. From Wikipedia under the

Q. Are Kemwell and GlaxoSmithKline involved? Cargill is one. Asked by Just! Some? *Dude* - Fri Jan 30 21:41:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Interesting question. I can tell you that the grower of organic produce in my area is having a very difficult time even finding seeds that have not been genetically modified. Irradiation is another problem of our food source that you might want to do some study in. In the USA, they don't even have to let you know that such has been done to your food that you just purchased. As to specific companies, I can't think of one that isn't in the food business that isn't involved in some shape or form under the guise of supposedly making an 'improvement' of their crop/product.
