Biotech Seed Companies Thwarting Research
In this week's New York Times, crop scientists are suggesting that biotechnology seed companies are thwarting research.

It's the biotech companies that are doing the research. Do you have any idea how much a biotech research program costs - millions of dollars. Of course they are not going to give away their intellectual property or sell it without restrictions.
