| Full Story (Click Here)Who controls the rights to the seeds planted in the ground? A 75-year-old farmer takes the agricultural giant to court to find out As David versus Goliath battles go it is hard to imagine a more uneven fight than the one about to play out in front of the US supreme court between Vernon Hugh Bowman and Monsanto. On the one side is Bowman, a single 75-year-old Indiana soybean farmer who is still tending the same acres of land as his father before him in rural south-western Indiana. On the other is a gigantic multibillion dollar agricultural business famed for its zealous protection of its commercial rights. | |

| The last article I read about the case stated it was not looking good for the farmer. If Monsanto used taxpayor money, in the way of grants, they should have NO right to patent seed. You control the food, you can control the people. | |
