On Thursday, a Saskatchewan canola grower, farmer #1, is speaking at a
local grange hall in Bridport, Vermont. He has been growing canola for many
years. He saves his seed for planting each year. His neighbor, farmer #2
planted canola seed from Monsanto...a gene modified variety.
Well, the story goes....honeybees cross pollinated the two crops. Monsanto
sued farmer #1 for theft of their patented variety. Farmer #1 lost in lower
court. The case is now headed for the Canadian Supreme Court.
Have I got the facts correct?
Does anyone else find this as scary as I do.
Mike
