It's also sometimes true that marketing departments in seed companies
prevail over QC people in order to hurry a market entry out the door... to

well as marginally acceptable seed ratios probably contributed greatly to
producer disenchantment the past few seasons. It seems like it'd be easy
enough to fall prey to that temptation in bt corn....
