The M$M has not let us know that Monsanto suffered a setback
Recently in Germany.
If you can spare a moment and hop over to the GD area, and offer the below OP a K & R, it might get the word out and onto the Greatest Page.

It is regarding the German court continuing its ban on GMO Maize in Germany

I would much appreciate a Rec as the Pro-Monsanto trolls will be out in force to keep this topic out of the circulation that the Greatest Page offers.

thanks

T.D.

7. Good thing you don't live close to a road like Percy Schmeiser..
I don't believe his farm was organic, but he certainly never intended for it to be planted-by-wind with a Monsanto GM crop, nor to have to fight years of lawsuits to avoid paying Monsanto a fee for having GM crops on his land.
Nice scarecrow.

8. We took that into consideration before coming here.
There is no commercial agriculture, industry, or urban developments for many, many miles.
We also keep HoneyBees, and wanted to minimize or eliminate their (and our) exposure to commercial toxins and GM crops.

10. I suspect that that is part of their overall plan.
Nothing about these monsters surprises me.
