I got out of the role because the opportunity was, do you want to go to supply chain or finance? And I said, no. And they said, okay, well, here's what you should do. Apply for this job. And if you don't get it, then we can give you a severance package. And I was like, well, if I take the severance package, what do I have to sign? Do I have to sign something?

Because everybody I knew that took one said they signed a thing that said you'll never say anything negative about Monsanto or Bayer. Because if you do, you'll get all that money clawed back and sued. And so I was like, I'm not going to sign anything. So if that means I can't take any money... so be it. But that way for the rest of my life, if I'm on a podcast right now, nobody has any questions.

Yeah. About like, if this guy agrees with Monsanto or not, it's totally up to me. So that's how I ended up leaving. We left on a great relationship. I still talk to a lot of people at bear. They've, they've done work with me. Like no, no issues, no problem. Good company.

Well, that was one of the most innovative companies in the United States. Not just glyphosate, but how they came up with how to sell it and how they structured different research and innovation programs. And so when Bayer bought Monsanto...

one of the contingencies that all these countries around the world, because it wasn't just the United States that said, is this a collusion or is this a trust? You know, is this a monopoly? So they had to go around to all over Europe, Russia, China, all these places. And these countries, what they would say is, yeah, we'll let it go through.

If you will build a GMO site in our country and give us, you know, the genetic engineering that you've been doing, give us access to germplasm that we've never had. Now, the people selling the company had a whole bunch of stock. And so they said, great, I'm going to get paid really well for this. I don't mind giving that away.
