In sharp contrast to its rural setting and the cornfields that surrounded the St. Peters plant, researchers there were giving birth to a technological boom. Monsanto’s roots in research and development helped create an environment that bred technological innovations, a trait that remains a hallmark of MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc., to this day.
