Not disputing you, but I have heard this story recounted a lot in various ways, but when I remember digging deeper into it, there were things that just didn't match up (basically, the amount of crop that could blew to their fields vs what was found out was very different and most likely had to be intentional). Also, if I remember correctly, Monsanto didn't really sue them. There are a lot of contradictory sources around, but from: http://www.dailytech.com/Monsanto+Defeats+Small+Farmers+in+Critical+Bioethics+Class+Action+Suit/article24118.htm http://www.dailytech.com/Monsanto+Defeats+Small+Farmers+in+C... > Wrote the judge, "[the allegations] are unsubstantiated ... given that not one single plaintiff claims to have been so threatened." She also complained that the farmers had "overstate[d] the magnitude of [Monsanto's] patent enforcement", which documents indicated entailed 13 cases last year, which she opined "is hardly significant when compared to the number of farms in the United States, approximately two million." ps: not taking sides, just letting you know that MAYBE you have been mislead (as I was)
