BOISE, Idaho -- Farmers in Idaho have filed a potentially class action lawsuit against seed giant Monsanto after genetically engineered wheat was found in an eastern Oregon field.
The farmers, represented by a Boise law firm, filed the federal lawsuit Friday contending that Monsanto's development of Roundup Ready wheat resulted in increased production costs and lowered prices because the genetically engineered wheat is likely to infiltrate the non-genetically engineered wheat supply.
No genetically engineered wheat has been approved for U.S. farming, and the discovery of the Roundup Ready wheat growing in Oregon in May prompted Japan to suspend some wheat imports.
I have been talking about "Monstersanto" for years...I am new to curezone..still discovering what all is here. Wheat prices will fall and farmers are going to be hit hard...and I have to wonder if that's not what they intended in the first place. I will not buy anything but heirloom seeds and already front yard gardens are illegal in some towns, rainwater storage also illegal in most states...you cannot mess with mother nature and not expect to pay ...
