Many advancements and improvements have been made over the last 200 years‚ in the farming realm‚ in order to create better crop yields and‚ more importantly‚ make farming a whole lot easier for the typical farmer (typical meaning a 750-1500 acre farm). Technology has come a long way in the farming industry which makes the farm and the equipment used on the farm nothing like what it started out as‚ the seed is also very different than originally used. The farmers and the crops they produce are an

In 1981 the company began to experiment with bio technology and began creating cotton‚ soybean and canola seeds. These seeds were successful mainly based on their ability to stand up to the Round Up herbicide‚ also created by Monsanto. The success in bio technology enabled Monsanto to merge and become Pharmacia Cooperation and two years
