Court Rules Organic Farmers Can Sue GMO / Conventional Farms for Contamination!!

[Pakanohida]

Lawyers are about to get richer.

(NaturalNews) Purveyors of conventional and genetically-modified (GM) crops -- and the pesticides and herbicides that accompany them -- are finally getting a taste of their own legal medicine. Minnesota's Star Tribune has reported that the Minnesota Court of Appeals recently ruled that a large organic farm surrounded by chemical-laden conventional farms can seek damages for lost crops, as well as lost profits, caused by the illegal trespassing of pesticides and herbicides on its property.

That is fantastic news!!!

You and I wish, Ludi.

Any organic farmer will spend a minimum of a quarter-million trying to prove that he was done any damage. Opposing lawyers will file mountains of paperwork to stall. The chem companies will throw lawyers behind even a small conventional farmer to avoid precedent against them.

A completely worthless ruling, in effect. Good precedent, but useless.

You can win a battle here and there, but still lose the war.

Sorry to be a buzzkill.

Great first step!!!
Isnt there a way that lawyers can represent a whole group of clients for the same offence.
If one farmer has been contaminated then his neighbours will most likely be in the same situation.
