COMMENT

There's a snide aspect to the reporting here about Schmeiser that's
maybe not so surprising given the story's farm press source. It's
perhaps worth quoting what the University of Guelph agronomist E. Ann
Clark has said about the Schmeiser case.

"To all the farmers and farm organizations that applauded the
prosecution of Schmeiser two years ago, and have since sat back and
watched him swinging in the wind waiting for judgment:

a. he was not found guilty of brown bagging or improperly buying or
stealing Monsanto seed - indeed, those highly publicized allegations
were dropped at the actual hearing stage due to a complete lack of
evidence,

b. he was found guilty of having Monsanto genetics on his land,

c. it's doubtful whether there's a farm anywhere in western Canada that
does not have Monsanto Roundup Ready canola seed in its soil,
