Good Lord I thought this nonsense was about over. Those engineered crops have been providing food and money crops all over the world. They have been salvation for a lot of poor nations and now some Dem has his boxers in a bunch because of cross contamination in a silo.
Has this cross contamination hurt anything?

proves once again that the Dem's concern for the underprivileged is contingent on what their political gain may be.

True, they're also producing some vastly expensive pending problems. Monsanto's "RoundUp Ready" genes have crosspollinated both Poa annua and Conyza canadensis, a grass and an astercae, two of the most promicuous families of aggressive weeds. In this habitat restorationist's view, this is a pending disaster, particularly for farmers and ranchers because plants in these families constitute some of their most pernicious weeds.

To deliberately destroy the usefulness of glyphosate when the patent runs out and transfer "RoundUp Ready" to your hot new and far more expensive patented herbicides (which is what I have always thought Monsanto was doing with "RoundUp Ready") is an actionable cause for compensation.
