Once that process begins, the farmer usually loses his farm due to the carrying cost for legal representation.
What IS THE TERM WHEN BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT WORK TOGETHER TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE PEOPLE. I'm not sure, but I think we fought a war over the concept.

This falls into the same category as the Milk Police.......
From the little I have heard, read and watched on TV there are issues with GM crops cross pollinating with heirloom crops which then may infringe Monsanto's Patent rights. There is also a issue with Monsanto Roundup resistant crops.
It would appear that Monsanto would like to have a world wide monopoly on what you can and cannot not plant, grow and eat...........which might be worthy of a JiHad IMO.
