Monsanto GMO seed contamination of Organic Farmers field leading to new lawsuit!

An Australian farmer is suing his neighbor over the significant economic loss that occurred when the organic farmer lost most of his organic certifications due to cross contamination of his crop by his neighbors planting of GMO canola and rapeseed.   Monsanto is not party to the suit as that company forces farmers to sign a third party waiver which leaves liability to the farmer.  If the lawsuit is successful, farmers will likely be less inclined to plant GMO crops if they can be held liable for their potential contamination of neighboring farmers crops.   Here’s more on this story – http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/02/13/monsantos-gmo-seeds-may-no-longer-be-invincible.aspx
