Monsanto could expand in GM with DeKalb buy

MONSANTOS plan to bid for DeKalb would cement the companys position as a world leader in hi-tech agriculture if successful. Dow Chemical, Agrevo and Cargill are also expected to bid.

Success for Monsanto would enable it to expand its activities in genetically modified food.
