A Kansas farmer has sued Monsanto over genetically modified wheat in Oregon. The attorney who talked to the Associated Press from Dallas said lawsuits were the only way to police the agricultural system. Only a few hundred million dollars in penalties will protect us from food.
The lawsuit alleges that the unharvested crop drove down wheat futures prices and caused a backlash from some international markets.
The USDA has determined that the genetically modified wheat is safe but Monsanto does not sell it. Since no contamination has occurred Monsanto is dismissing it as 'tractor-chasing lawyers'.
