Monsanto Co., the world’s largest seed company, was sued by West Virginia for allegedly refusing to cooperate with the state attorney general’s investigation of the sale of soybeans that can withstand Roundup weed killer.
West Virginia is looking into whether claims Monsanto makes about its Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans are supported by test results. Second-generation Roundup Ready 2 Yield plants are priced significantly higher than the first-generation seeds, Attorney General Darrell McGraw said today in a statement.
