Monsanto Wins in Unanimous Decision
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 13 2013 @ 08:48 PM EDT
IIRC, Roundup Ready goes off-patent next summer.
(Monsanto is currently claiming that they will not enforce varietal patents for
Roundup Ready crops after the trait goes off-patent; this was after a good deal
of negative publicity associated with the Monsanto vs. Pioneer case)

So depressing
Authored by: artp on Monday, May 13 2013 @ 10:45 PM EDT
It makes me wonder where Farm Bureau is in all this mess.
You would think that they would want to keep farmers free of
corporate restrictions. But they continue to support the
enslavement of farmers by agribusiness because it is the
only market in town.

Since Earl Butz (back in the Nixon administration) started
pushing commodities markets on the international arena, the
available buyers for ag products has shrunk to almost
nothing. There are two or three buyers in most markets,
where there used to be hundreds.

It has been a slow transformation, but the ultimate goal of
ridding the country of independent farmers in favor of
corporate ownership and operation of agriculture is
proceeding to its final conclusion. And that will be when
American food products aren't any safer to eat than Chinese
food products. But much, much more profitable. The
Communists don't have everything figured out!

Somehow, I don't see Congress stepping in to fix this.

SCOTUS - Blinders on
Authored by: SpaceLifeForm on Tuesday, May 14 2013 @ 07:27 PM EDT

"Our holding today is limited — addressing the situation before us, rather than every one involving a self- replicating product."

How can they seriously say it is limited when they have now set the precedent for every seed-based product that has even a trivial genetic modification, even a modification that may not be expressed (i.e., junk dna).

It is all about money.

You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
