Maybe this is old news, but I just found out. Percy Schmeiser, the
Canadian canola grower, finally won his case against Monsanto! http://www.percyschmeiser.com/
Thanks, Lynn. Very good news for all of us, for several reasons. The
good guy won. My hat is off to Mr. Schmeiser.
This is from that site:
Schmeiser pleased with victory over Monsanto
In an out of court settlement finalized on March 19, 2008, Percy
Schmeiser has settled his lawsuit with Monsanto. Monsanto has agreed
to pay all the clean-up costs of the Roundup Ready canola that
contaminated Schmeiser's fields. Also part of the agreement was that
there was no gag-order on the settlement and that Monsanto could be
sued again if further contamination occurred. Schmeiser believes this
precedent setting agreement ensures that farmers will be entitled to
reimbursement when their fields become contaminated with unwanted
Roundup Ready canola or any other unwanted GMO plants.
