Article Abstract:
The controversy surrounding herbicide-resistant soybeans has forced growers into a dilemma between risk and value. Roundup-ready beans offer growers added value in the form of enhanced weed control and lower herbicide and production costs. Biotech beans, however, represent risks as foreign and domestic food processors are now demanding segregation or even outright non-biotech crops.

One fear associated with Internet-based online data storage that these services must address is that the information is being sold, which may therefore compromise the identity of data ownership in the process.
