Farmers Sue Monsanto Over GMO Seeds

Farmers seek to restrain Monsanto's ability to sue organic farmers whose crop have been contaminated by their patented GM seeds. You see, when the wind blows GM seeds onto your field companies like Monsanto, Syngenta and BayerCropLife have the right to sue for patent infringement. Through contamination of non-GM crops, Monsanto's 'intellectual property' could wipe out organic farms. Hundreds of such suits have already put many farmers out of business.

Consolidation of the seed market reduces the availability of conventional non-GMO seeds.

This ten-minute YouTube video does a good job of illustrating the risks posed to health by Monsanto and other biotech company's reckless proliferation of genetically modified organisms.
