Geez, big government and big business trying to squash the little guy? Tell me it isn’t so! Who has heard of such a thing?
From your link.
Percy Schmeiser is a farmer from Saskatchewan Canada, whose Canola fields were contaminated with Monsanto’s genetically engineered Round-Up Ready Canola by pollen from a nearby farm. Monsanto says it doesn’t matter how the contamination took place, and is therefore demanding Schmeiser pay their Technology Fee (the fee farmers must pay to grow Monsanto’s genetically engineered products).
It’s telling how Monsanto can contaminate crops they don’t pay for or get paid to contaminate and the people who got contaminated are supposed to be the ones paying them.
It’s been a while since I was into Organic Gardening news but from what I remember when we were all against GM foods the claim was we didn’t have to worry about them cross-pollinating.
Since I’ve started spraying my apples I can see the benefits of using chemicals, but my land = my choice.
