 PROFILE
High-tech corn and soybeans? You bet. Biotechnology company Monsanto helps farmers grow more crops by applying biotechnology, genomics, and molecular breeding technology to herbicides and seeds (DEKALB and Asgrow). Its flagship product, Roundup, is the world's #1 herbicide. Monsanto also produces genetically altered seeds that tolerate Roundup and resist bugs; it estimates that most of the world's insect- and herbicide-resistant crops bear its stamp. The company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Pharmacia when Monsanto and Pharmacia & Upjohn merged in 2000, but consumer apprehension over so-called "Frankenfoods" and the like prompted Pharmacia to take the company public. Pharmacia still owns 85% of Monsanto.
