I found a list of seed companies that either buy seed from Monsanto or are owned by them. So these are labels/companies to AVOID.
For information on the seed monopoly/concentration problem, here's a good albeit somewhat dated paper outlining the companies involved: http://www.non-gm-farmers.com/news_print.asp?ID=2549
