Subject: RE: How many Americans



Harristown, IL
Don't want to get in a pissing match with you.
I would rather buy from a foren owed company that product is made in the USA, then a US company that is made over seas. Hens I don't shop at Wal Mart. And I don't like Big M. I am or was associated with Diener before they sold out.
From Clint @ GLH from below post:
AgReliant is the largest independent seed company today (that is not owned by pharmaceutical or chemical companies). They are farmers and corn breeders working to create their own germplasm. Yes, the ownership is french (limagrain cooperative - owned and operated by farmers) and KWS (owned and operated by farmers), but all the employees and contacts you have here in the US are american employees (500+ at last count). Companies have to be global in scope to survive today if they are doing their own breeding, testing and research. We're proud to be part of the largest independent company that is owned and operated by farmers, for farmers. We can choose the best traits (be it yieldgard, herculex or any others) and combine them with our superior germplasm. It's a great position to be in.

I have not talked to Clint yet, but I think his 500 employees is only the full time AGR people, and doesn't include all the part time help.
