Get this: Monsanto plants experimental crops. They own farmland in close enough proximity to other people's farms, so that when the wind blows hard enough to cross pollenate the crops of other farmers with their experimental crops, they then take the other farmers to court, keep them in litigation for long periods of time, and end up taking their land. This happens SO OFTEN that there is a special HOTLINE set up for them to file cases against the smaller farmers !! And the courts ALWAYS find in favor of Monsanto ! Just another friendly Globalist-owned company that manipulates the system for their own gain. They destroy lives in the name of money.

Yeah, I heard about this, and it makes my blood boil--especially that Monsanto wins. Too bad someone can't countersue Monsanto for contaminating their land. All the scientists there, and they don't know that the wind blows and may blow their seeds all over the place.

Monsanto makes variations of flora that are hardy, withstand ailment, and bring greater beneficial. They patent those technologies, and anticipate farmers to pay them for his or her products, for which the farmers make money on the greater beneficial produce that they produce. it rather is it. Farmers Markets, and foodstuff swaps can nevertheless proceed - how might desire to everybody end that? And, farmers are no longer compelled to purchase Monsanto seeds - it rather is an earnings in plenty bigger yields, yet, there is not any compulsion to realize this. Monsanto may be somewhat heavy surpassed in issues like seed sequence, as they carry patents on the particular strains that they produce. it somewhat is basically criminal, yet, some resent it. And, others hate the belief of genetically changed meals, failing to realize that farmers have been doing so for one thousand's of years, normally via selective breeding, and so on. Monsanto has it somewhat is matters, yet, they are not the tremendous evil human beings decide to think of they're. Our foodstuff would not freely belong to us all! try going to a farm and assisting your self to vegetables - the farmer in basic terms may be a wee bit annoyed!

Nope. I think all it takes is one smart organic farmer to take this one on. Start the organic farm next to Monsanto, then sue them for ruining your crop when their experimental crop cross-polenates.

No. Monsanto sues the farmers who are illegally planting and benefiting from Monsanto's proprietary seed (they are STEALING from the company). Why would a farmer use a herbicide on a crop that would kill the crop, unless OF COURSE the farmer knew that it was Roundup resistant. The days of the family farmer aren't over- go plant some corn!
