| + | **** "As of December 2012, Monsanto had filed 142 alleged seed patent infringement lawsuits involving 410 farmers and 56 small farm businesses in 27 states, which recently led one judge to brand the company "incredibly litigious"." | ||
| + | **** "Instead of saving seed for replanting, farmers are now constrained to purchasing a combination "cropping system" comprised of high-cost GE seed and the herbicide to which the seed is resistant." ... "Upon purchase, farmers are required to sign lengthy contracts known as "technology use agreements." The contracts prohibit farmers from saving seeds and, among many other intrusive prohibitions, allow companies to access the farmers' records held by third parties, such as the US government." (p. 10 aka "6") | ||
