Yeah but they weren't sued at all. They were told unless they cooperated with Monsanto that they couldn't buy more Monsanto. That's all.Did you read it?
"The Runyons say they signed no agreements, and if they were contaminated with the genetically modified seed, it blew over from a neighboring farm."
They had no agreement and denied it.
I will further say that if you crops pollinate mine then I don't have to pay you for them.
I said Monsanto doesn't sue farmers for drift. That is the rumor on the net. You posted this link, which shows they did not sue a farmer for drift they had a disagreement with a farmer and decided to not sell to him.
As for the cleaner, his own customers went into court and under oath testified that the seed cleaner asked them to save goo seed. It was his word against other farmers, he lost.
The cbs article you posted is only their word for it, not the outcome of the case in court where the truth came out.
