GMO also have the advantage of charging the small farmers outrageous fees for seed corn, etc....

how can it be that in the best country in the world, the once leader of the free market, can have almost all of its crops beholden to one monstrous company?

Nearly all of them benefit agribusiness rather than, say, you. Extended shelf life is a biggie — semi-immortal tomatoes reduce spoilage

Reduced spoilage doesn't benefit me?

“In 1995, American agriculture underwent a profound, dangerous change.”

What exactly is so dangerous? Not your “feelings” about GM foods, mind you, I am asking for actual, documented dangers.
