Back in 1926 when Monsanto was a chemical manufacturer they incorporated the village of Monsanto, Illinois (later renamed Sauget) and had a chemical plant constructed there. The village is less than 5 square miles but, strangely enough, now contains two Superfund sites.

Superfund sites are bio hazardous cleanup sites so that makes sense given that it was one of the most ecologically devastated places in the US, right?

I think the "strangely enough" bit was meant tongue-in-cheek.

Monsanto never stopped being a chemical manufacturer. What do you think RoundUp is?
