"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...................................."
