Could someone link to a lawsuit in which a farmer's crop was contaminated with Monsanto seed without his knowledge and then sued by Monsanto? I hear this enough that I must insist on a citation.
- dionidium 14y agoI doubt they can. This is the most commonly cited case [0] but it's pretty clear from the facts that the farmer was not an innocent, unwitting victim. This claim is made in bad faith so often as to make any discussion about Monsanto almost pointless from the start.

- hso9791 14y agoWow, that Wikipedia article's history is interesting. What I can see from a cursory look at the court documents is that the court dismissed on grounds of irrelevance his claim that he neither used roundup nor any similar herbicide on the crop in question.
