“I don’t believe any company has the right to come into someone’s home and threaten their livelihood.” – so says Indiana Farmer David Runyan in response to Monsanto’s bully tactics to intimidate and coerce farmers. Finally getting national attention, both from Vanity Fair and CBS.
Link to the CBS story on the web site of the Organization for Competitive Markets
Also on OCM site, a link to the recent Market Place (American Public Radio) segment on how large agribusiness firms are profiteering, much like oil firms in recent years with their record breaking profits while the rest of us pay, pay and then pay some more.
For more on Monsanto there is a very good new documentary called “The World According to Monsanto” by a French director; somehow it always seems to get pulled down off of youtube or anywhere else it is posted…, but this link is still active:
