Monsanto and a few other major companies like them are the main money contributors to almost all agriculture programs in colleges throughout the U.S. Because of this they have been able to "educate" the current and future major farmers that their way is the best way. There is a slow movement trying to turn this around because the Monsanto way of farming is destroying our number one resource, our soil.
I had the same question as the OP a few years ago and spent quite a bit of time researching and reading what the big deal was with the hate of Monsanto. Everything I have been able to find has made me a firm hater of everything Monsanto.
