From the Food Democracy blog:
On January 31, family farmers will take part in the first phase of a court case filed to protect farmers from genetic trespass by Monsanto’s GMO seed, which contaminates organic and non-GMO farmer’s crops and opens them up to abusive lawsuits. In the past two decades, Monsanto’s seed monopoly has grown so powerful that they control the genetics of nearly 90% of five major commodity crops including corn, soybeans, cotton, canola and sugar beets.
In many cases farmers are forced to stop growing certain crops to avoid genetic contamination and potential lawsuits. Between 1997 and 2010, Monsanto admits to filing 144 lawsuits against America’s family farmers, while settling another 700 out of court for undisclosed amounts. Due to these aggressive lawsuits, Monsanto has created an atmosphere of fear in rural America and driven dozens of farmers into bankruptcy. Please join us in standing up for family farmers everywhere against Monsanto’s abusive seed monopoly.

From the front lines… on an island with extensive fields which produced sugar cane for ages….
A few years ago all sugar cultivation ceased, and the fallow fields are one by one being turned into corn fields, for the production of GMO seed corn.
Monsanto/Syngenta’s lawsuits of farmers whose crops have been contaminated, don’t SEEM to have a leg to stand on. The farmers don’t want their silly old twisted genes (no motive to steal), and the dispersal of the genetically engineered pollen was by the wind…. what might be classified as “an act of God.” I wonder by what process of legal acrobatics Monsanto et al can claim that they are the injured party.
