MONSANTO investigator laughs they are doing "RURAL CLEANSING."

As of last night, a US marshall, 2 state police and a county police are all over Mr. Hixon's area, serving notices to farmers that they are being sued by Monsanto. They arrive in pairs, with two cars parked a quarter mile and half mile down the road. They've served 3 so far and said "a bunch more are coming." No telling how many will be served since Hixon has between 200-400 farmers he cleans seeds for and these farmers have been repeatedly threatened by Monsanto thugs for the last two months, getting "visits," letters, and calls daily.

Farmers report that a Monsanto investigator laughed that they were doing "rural cleansing."

Steve Hixon is a seed cleaner in southern Illinois. He has equipment that takes the plant materials and "cleans" it so that the seeds are separated out and can be given back to farmers to save for the next season. It's a mechanized step up from farmers hand picking seeds off their own plants, which, with hundreds of acres - or even 10 - would not be easy to do.

Mr. Hixon has the non-distinction of being attacked by Monsanto. He is far from alone. Monsanto has been picking off seed cleaners across the Midwest, having already done its thuggish thing in Pilot Grove, Missouri, and in Indiana, attacking Maurice Parr, destroying business for all of them.

Mr. Parr reports that when he was sued, the first think out of the judge said was how "honored to have a fine company like Monsanto in my courtroom."

Monsanto's greed is amazing.

If so - we have to flood Vilsack with calls, letters, etc....he if anyone could do something about this.

Remember who pays his salary now.

"Monsanto agrees that its Roundup Ready canola can spread, but insists that
controlling the spread is no different than for any other type of plant.
All it takes is good farm management, said Craig Evans, general manager of
biotechnology for Monsanto Canada Inc."

Small Farmer Wins Moral Victory Over Monsanto

http://www.naturalnews.com/022918.html

The company claimed that the Schmeisers had violated its patent on the seeds, which had been genetically modified to resist Roundup herbicide. The couple was accused of knowingly planting the seeds without paying the royalty fees to Monsanto, which sought damages for $400,000

Their profits are soaring and they basically are SEED sharking every farmer known to man.
We all need to step up to the plate and stop this!

torching your own house then suing your neighbors because the sparks burned their house down?

Makes about as much sense to me.

Someone needs to investigate what other pseudo-rulings that judge has made. Sounds as if he's nothing more than a rubber-stamper for corporations (typical * shill?). Who put that dillrod on the bench?
