In all fairness, I do not want to be too critical of the USDA, FDA or EPA, Monsanto or ADM. I can’t be too critical because I know there are some very fine people there (and former employees) who are trying to help. At least, they are trying to hold things together before things do get out of hand.
It is all so simple. For every problem, there is usually a solution. If each state passed legislation saying contracts for GM seeds are good for one year only (rather than forever), it would go along way to solve the problem of reusing seeds and patent infringement claims. That way, cities and counties could use the billions of dollars in revenues lost to Monsanto and the seed companies to do alot of good things with. For example, creating your own seed banks. But that cannot be done unless good folks in each state start stirring up more mustard.
It would be appreciated by all if readers comment and give any stories of farmers they know. Otherwise, someone might think the Journal is spreading another boring internet hoax or stupid conspiracy theory.
