JD Seller, Most of what I've seen regarding seed in Africa is that Monsanto came up with a terminator gene where they can make any plant not produce seed on the second generation. They supposedly offered these seeds which supposedly also had some drought tolerance bred into them and were met with much negative backlash. Basically Monsanto wanted another market and wanted to guarantee that the farmers wouldn't replant the seeds.
Also, why is it that you think you have a mission to "feed the world"? How does it benefit you when the government gives away free wheat and corn to Africans? More importantly, how does it benefit the citizens of other countries to become dependent on free US food?
Corrupt governments are definitely the problem. Zimbabwe was a grain exporting country until Mugabe took over and ran it for hiw own personal gain. They are now dependent on foreign aid. Remember that big stink back in the 90's when were were giving corn to Egypt and Mubarak was turning around and selling it on the open market in competition against US? Meanwhile his people were starving....
I know I'm not a "serious" farmer like you because I only have a 6 row planter versus your three 16 row planters, but it really irks me that you have the nerve to accuse me of starving African babies!

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
