I want them to sue the crap out of Monsanto.
RoundUp is cheapest and safest grass weed killer out there and these clowns are playing with fire.
Wheat is a grass... wondering if microbes could carry these genes to other grasses. The rye that wouldn’t die!
In my humble opinion, Monsanto is playing with fire, knows it, it is a devastatingly costly liability and they paid enough politicians handsomely to get themselves made immune from lawsuits in regards to just this kind of thing.
I think they have some real frankenplants on their hands and this is just one glimpse into that nightmare world.
We may starve for the days of having just one basket of heritage seeds to start over.
“The strain was developed by Monsanto to make wheat resistant to the company’s own industry-leading weed killer.”
Monsanto developed a strain of wheat that made practicable the continued use of RoundUp, a Monsanto product you seem to be defending. Yet you want Monsanto sued to extinction.
What am I missing?

What is your point? Monsanto makes Roundup. Who would sue Monsanto and why?
Also this wheat variety development was stopped in 2005. Who knows what happened. The economic losses are really with lost sales. But I doubt Monsanto had anything to do with this. My bet is a bag of this seed mistakenly was planted by someone or got blended in to other seed..
Sure, if you consider a listed side effect of "development of ambiguous sex organs in fetuses of exposed pregnant females" as "safe".
Better not spray Roundup anywhere remotely close to potatoes.
