Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. will pay $300 million to expand its partnership with the agribusiness giant Monsanto.
Wikipedia says
The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company is an
American multinational corporation headquartered in
Marysville, Ohio, where O.M. Scott began selling lawn seed in 1868. The company is considered an industry leader in the lawn and garden market, with regional offices and research facilities across the U.S. and businesses in Canada, Europe and Asia Pacific. In the U.S., the company's Scotts, Miracle-Gro and Ortho brands are market leading in their categories, as is the consumer
Roundup brand, which is marketed in North America and most of Europe exclusively by Scotts. Outside of North America, the company's brands include Miracle-Gro, Evergreen, KB, Fertiligene, Celaflor and Substral.
Just a couple of the dozens of articles I found just by putting Scotts and Mon$anto in the same search.
Maybe Mon$atan didn't buy these companies in it's own name but they and Scotts are co-conspirators and basically the same company in all but name. One makes the ammo and the other pulls the trigger.
Now that Bayer has bought Mon$atan the Nazis that still run Bayer will pile up the bodies of smaller dead companies soon enough.
Splitting hairs is for lawyers and nitpickers who like to grind others down. Don't be a grinder and don't let them grind you!
