I read this article today about farmers who are about to sue Monsanto.
This
is awesome, but it is tinged with such sadness. Monsanto has so much
to be guilty of with their greed and their total lack of care when it
comes to the farmers.
The stupid part is that if Monsanto didn't have the support of the farmers ... well, there would be no Monsanto now would there.
It's now time for the farmers to fight back. There is a farmer
committing suicide every 30 minutes. That's totally reprehensible. But
Monsanto is welding such a huge stick over these farmers by demanding
that they pay royalties for any renewal seed. That's seed that has been
harvested from the original crop and planted again.
So they are fighting back and there are 5 million farmers. Yes, you
read that correctly - 5 million!!!! With any luck, they may be able to
put Monsanto and it's corrupt and nasty ways out of business.
This is something that I will be watching with interest.
