“If you’re dumb enough to sign a contract with Monsanto, you’re definitely dumb enough to lose your farm.”
In theory I would agree. Unfortunately the reality is that most farmers find themselves dependent on government subsidies. In order to qualify for most large subsidies you you are forced to enter into a contract with Monsanto or their subsidiaries.
;Any thoughts?

Farmers like genetically modified (GM) crops because they can plant them, spray them with herbicide and then there is very little maintenance until harvest. Farmers who plant Monsanto’s GM crops probably don’t realize what they bargain for when they sign the Monsanto Technology Stewardship Agreement contract. One farmer reportedly ‘went crazy’ when he discovered the scope of the contract because it transfers ALL liability to the farmer or grower.
