You must mean the crooks at Monsanto who are using bribed government officials to force farmers to buy their seed.

Yes. Those poor farmers who are being forced to plant a crop that is 10 times easier to grow and harvest resulting in greater yields for the farmers and lower prices for the consumers. You should get together with other hysterical fear mongers like Michael Moore and make a documentary about how scary genetics is -- especially when corporations profit from it!!!

There’s the patented conundrum. If Monsanto let it loose by their own fault then they have to pay for the damage if they insist this queers someone else’s wheat field.

Now if we had a GPL of genetic engineered wheat, then sure anyone could use it. Unless it was banned.

Wow. Did you read that out of a Monsanto advertisement? That is a specious claim at best.

Look, I dislike greenie anticapitalist hippies as much as the next guy, but once in a blue moon they are right. And I'd rather not eat food that has had its genetic structure interfered with by short-sighted experimenters. I have no problem with natural hybridization, but splicing in genetic parts from foreign organisms is the biological equivalent of saying, "hold my beer and watch me do something really cool!" Nobody knows what genetic repercussions will manifest over the next 20-100 generations of these plants and how it might spread to similar plants, which could touch off other unforseen repercussions.

Agree with you here. There are a bunch here who believe the government and the media. They trust government to grow government to protect us from another fake crisis ( this time monstanto). So why not the fake crisis of adam lanzas or fake global warming. They should go protest with green peace.amazing. They don’t realize government is the problem . And they believe the liberal media.

If Monsanto’s seed is so superior then why do they have to resort to such heavy handed tactics to push out their competition? Why would any conservative support the use of government to stifle competition. You apparently know nothing about farming and care little about the rule of law. There is no explanation for this occurence that doesn’t involve illegal activity.
