  Hi Sally, to see Monsanto's definition of "Roundup Ready", goto:
  http://www.monsanto.com/monsanto/products/popups/roundup_ready.html

  Roundup ready means your soybeans can be sprayed with Roundup and they =
are ready - ie, can handle it while the other weeds can't

  So that means that when the soybean field is spayed, the milkweed will =
die, and all those monarchs worked so hard for naught. It may be a =
lovely place to lay an egg, but certain death for the caterpillar. Sally
