I knew a corn farmer who sprayed something that killed tobacco in a field two miles away.
Canada has had these problems for years...and the ‘little guy’ always loses in court.
Submit or go bankrupt.
I hear these stories all the time. I am certain they do not happen as often as the press would like you to believe. If I spray a crop, and even my next door neighbor feels the effect, let alone some guy down the road, I am doing something very wrong, especially from an economical stand point. I want that product on my crop, no where else. It does me no good on your property. If it ends up somewhere else I am applying too much, applying under the wrong conditions, and worst of all, I am wasting tons of time and money.
And monsanto will proceed to sue ALL of the surrounding farmers for IP theft, regardless of whether it’s their fault or not.
They tried that shit in Oregon recently. Somebody planted GMO wheat “by mistake” and it cross-pollinated with some other fields. Most of the wheat grown in the area is for export to asia, which does NOT allow GMO wheat.
In short, the asian importers cut off their imports, and monsanto threatened to sue the surrounding farmers.
The farmers responses were everything from torching crops to making some monsanto seed users “disappear”.
Sounds like just plain old RACKETEERING by Monsanto.. Buy my seed or your neighbors will KILL YOUR CROPS with our New Spray that OUR SEED IS IMMUNE TO.
