[Jeff Schmuki]

Hello All,
Back in 2009 Wendy and I formed PlantBot Genetics after posing as farmers
at a Monsanto open house day where local farmers treated to the latest
products.  We encountered some misinformation, namely on the difference
between a naturally arrived at hybrid (crossbreeding like species) and a
transgenic one (genetic combination from unlike species). Essentially, we
were told GM crops were no different from what humans has been doing for
thousands of years which is not true. In answer to this, we created
PlantBot Genetics a  Biotech parody as a means to create conversation on
large-scale agricultural practices and how food arrives at our plate in a
humorous and inspiring way.  www.monsantra.com
