IM is already there and with jabber really well done, why not define several additional personal information meta data and assign external urls/services what not to it, so you can browse your buddys and show all the information lotro gold from several different sources if you like (maybe even in a nice context based Mabinogi Gold plasmoid view). You could even get the relevant information Maple story mesos from other services (local and private ones) hidden from the IM service, but only mapped by the client to your addressbook.

This is a very complex issue and will greatly impact Iowa and Iowa farmers. Not to mention the perception the rest of the nation and world will have of us. Unfortunately, the problem of Big Corporation dominance has been a long time coming and not enough has been done to address it. And it's not just in the seed market – what about livestock? There are no easy answers.

You didn't answer the part about "family owned seed companies that supply superior seed quality and service." If they are so good, why don't you buy those?

How do you know the new RR soybeans & SmartStax are worse if they haven't been sold yet? I would think you would want to try them first or see your neighbor try them before making such a statement.

I can't disagree with your statement that Monsanto struggles with marketing.

Absolutely Floyd.
Monsanto developed some excellent products.
We (farmers) tried them, liked them, used them.
We would still like to utilize them, but Monsanto has to many self proclaimed "marketing geniuses" running the show.
Constantly cramming new and "improved" products down our throat for a large cost increase that don't work any better than what we are already using.
In some cases worse, think VT Pro, RR2 Yield, SmartStax.
The boys in St. Louis need to round up most of the marketing team and go off to a nice conference somewhere and work on "touch points" for a few years.
Leave the breeders to do what they know how to do so well.
Bring better useful products to market when they work correctly.

"family owned seed companies that supply superior seed quality and service."

Then farmers should go buy those products or any non-Monsanto products.

The market (farmers) have asked for these products, that is why Monsanto continues to spend the money on research to bring them to the market & why other seed companies (including Pioneer) pay to have the traits in their seed.

This qualifies as the most ignorant analogy I've come across to date.
Certainly Pioneer stands to gain from any Monsanto loss, and the sky is blue, and grass is green.
You fail to recognize the benefit to the real backbone of American Agriculture, the private family owned seed companies that supply superior seed quality and service.
Wake up and smell the Acceleron, competition made America great.
Monsanto is no longer bringing the best new products to the market and asking for a modest profit.
They are strictly a profit driven dictator constantly demanding more for the same product (Unfortunately now, they want more for a worse product, RR2 yield and SmartStax).

Perhaps it's time to go back to genetically-diverse crops, cut back on the toxic stuff poured on the land (and into our food and water supplies), and focus a bit more on becoming locavores.
