I think everyone should read the court documents if they want to be
informed. You can find it at: :
http://www.percyschmeiser.com/T1593-98-%20Decision.pdf

Mr. Sshmeiser is hoping you won't read the parts about how he purchase
enough Round-Up to spray all his fields and that he got 900 acres of
planting stock from just 3 acres of seed and he really hoping you won't read
the parts about inconsistency of his and his farm hands testimony.

I am NO fan of this kind of stuff. I have an organic farm however I believe
in patent rights, principle and most of all in CAPITALISM!
