Marcie and others: I've begun hearing people make the statement that
Monsanto's BST was a financial bust, for various reasons. Can anyone
give me an authoritative reference to support the thesis that
Monsanto is not making money from BST, how much they are losing, and
why, and what are their future plans for this product? Is this a
specific instance, or is it seen as being predictive of the future
for GEO's in general? I think Marcie's always insightful comments
were bang-on regarding flying below consumer radar - although
European consumers appear to have better radar than us. Ann
