Pesticides are the business model.<p>These crops are being developed by companies like Monsanto, which make and sell the pesticides farmers use. They then turn around and sell the pesticide-resistant corn seed (or wheat seed, or oilseed, or what have you). So you, the farmer, have to buy both the pesticide <i>and</i> the resistant crops every cycle. You&#x27;re locked into the ecosystem.<p>Pesticides will be the focus until some agribusiness company finds a more profitable model, or until this model is somehow regulated.
