A conference in St. Louis next month will focus on competition in the agriculture market and will likely include discussions about what some farmers describe as Monsanto Co.’s ”stranglehold” on seeds. Some farmers allege that the biotech company engages in anti-competitive practices, which lead to lower crop yields and monopolistic costs to farmers and consumers, the Organization for Competitive Markets (OCM) said Monday. [...] OCM decided to hold its annual conference in St. Louis because the city is central to its membership, it’s a ”good media market” and it’s the home of Monsanto, said Christy Moran, an OCM spokeswoman.
