Monsanto

ST. LOUIS—Agricultural biotech giant Monsanto unveiled its latest strain of genetically modified corn Wednesday, claiming that the new, hardier seed yields 400 percent more litigation against small independent farms than the company’s previous GMO products. “We are excited to introduce our newest variety of corn, which is capable of producing up to 1,000 patent infringement cases per growing season,” said Monsanto spokesman Richard Gringell, explaining that this proprietary strain of the large cereal grain had been carefully engineered to withstand even the harshest countersuits. “Moreover, our new variety can cross-pollinate with nearby farmers’ crops three times faster, generating new targets for legal action much more efficiently than before. In fact, just one acre of our new corn is able to bankrupt as many family farmers as 10 acres of our previous formula. It’s a huge leap forward for our company.” Gringell added that the particularly robust and litigious variety of corn only requires three lawyers to prosecute, saving on average $1,500 per hour the company can then allocate toward developing new pesticides whose resulting birth defects can’t be traced.

I take it you dont like Monsanto

And Your Point is? I personally made many a dollar working for contractors in Monsanto. Why do you feel so?

The main problem with Monsanto is they don't have to list the ingrediance on the label. You have no idea what they are putting in the seed which is for our food consumption! BoarBuster: you don't see anything wrong with their work ethics when they know in advance that they are doing something illegal but have their lawyers set up ahead of time for the law suits that they know will be coming. You don't see anything wrong with that. Let me put it in terms that you may be able to understand. Let's say you go fishing and have pretty good luck and catch a lot of fish. When you come into the dock I take the fish away from you and so you go home with nothing; you don't think that would be wrong??? Let me know the next time you go fishing and where, we will check it out!!!!! EB

Don't you guys read The Onion? It's satire. :biggrin

Nope don't read the onion and yes I knew it was satire

Having spent years in the refining game both oil and chemical I have seen and learned a few things aboout all of it. It does not make me an expert. But I am able to see both sides. As far as jumping off the deep end goes I can say this. I watch the news for what that is worth and it amazes me at the number of people that want to throw a fit about a lot of stuff they know nothing about.

I have nothing for Monsanto. After they bought out Delta Pine they then laid off hundreds of works in Ms. Just walked straight in and handed out pink slips. No thank you's or sorry. Just a guard will escort you to your vehicle.

Just need to find and watch some of the Documentrys on how Monsanto has ruined so many small farmers with their lawsuits and such over their products. If clfarms is growing theiir seed and his corn cross polinates my corn which is not their seed and I save my seed back then their private detectives come in and get some of my seed. They find their GENES in my seed they will sue me until I go broke. Hundred's of lawsuits like that. I am not a farmer and have no use for them.
