i would have to bring in chairman burroughs if we want that conversation. >> zoning is also an issue.thing with the monsanto issue i, it's not an run into, from intellectual property. >> to answers to your question. first of all, the reality, the reason monsanto did what it did is because it invested a tremendous amount of money developing those seeds. so we have ceded too much of our research to the private sector. we need more publicly financed research that can then be available for entrepreneurs to create new seed technologies that wouldn't be as expensive. the second issue, in this day and age of change, are patent laws that provide protections time, extended period of somebody needs to look at those and ask if in this day and age of rapid change, if providing years and years of protection makes sense. maybe it needs to be shorter thatd of time to provide research to more people less expensively. but as long as you cede the responsibility to the private sector, and they invest as they do, millions of dollars to create those seeds, they will try to figure out a way to recoup their
