In a statement to Billboard, Monsanto is letting it be known that its feelings have been hurt by the rock legend.
“Many of us at Monsanto have been and are fans of Neil Young,” the company said. “Unfortunately, for some of us, his current album may fail to reflect our strong beliefs in what we do every day to help make agriculture more sustainable. We recognize there is a lot of misinformation about who we are and what we do—and unfortunately several of those myths seem to be captured in these lyrics.”
As we previously reported, the 69-year-old musician is releasing a new album on June 29 called The Monsanto Years targeting the chemical giant’s use of genetically modified seeds and pesticides.
