DuPont, Monsanto trade barbs over competition
In an Aug. 25 letter to Hugh Grant, Monsanto’s chairman, president and chief executive officer, Thomas L. Sager, DuPont’s senior vice president and general counsel, dismissed allegations by Monsanto earlier this month that DuPont had engaged in covert attacks on its seed business practices. Mr. Sager said Monsanto was trying to raise ”two-year-old accusations that were all proven false,” adding that DuPont’s right to speak out was ”constitutionally protected.” He said DuPont would ”welcome and encourage broad participation” in a wide-ranging public debate over competition in seed production and biotechnology.
