Genetically Modfied Seeds: Monsanto is Putting Normal Seeds Out of Reach

People say if farmers don’t want problems from Monsanto, just don’t buy their GMO seeds.

Not so simple. Where are farmers supposed to get normal seed these days? How are they supposed to avoid contamination of their fields from GM-crops? How are they supposed to stop Monsanto detectives from trespassing or Monsanto from using helicopters to fly over spying on them?

Monsanto contaminates the fields, trespasses onto the land taking samples and if they find any GMO plants growing there (or say they have), they then sue, saying they own the crop. It’s a way to make money since farmers can’t fight back and court and they settle because they have no choice.

And they have done and are doing a bucket load of things to keep farmers and everyone else from having any access at all to buying, collecting, and saving of NORMAL seeds.

    • Yeah, and they take these innocent farmers to court, buy off the judges and take their farms all because some of the Monsanto seeds blow into their field. Monsanto's goal is to own all of the World's food so we all have to be force fed their deadly seeds. And to think, their World Headquarters is located in my city where I live and where I grew up. Oh, by the way, Monsanto also brought you NutraSweet too, another poison courtesy of Donald Rumsfeld.
