theyve done the same to the eggplant grown in india. well they actually took an existing disease resistant non gm cultivar, made it sterile then patented it. causing the same problem.
so far estimates are 250 000 idian farmers have commited suicide due to monsanto.

rustyme and deepinthewoods      what you have both said is that Monsanto are like the drug barons   supplie the drugs   in this case seed for free or next to free    then they are hooked
 
but in this case it is cotton which is a commodity so eliminate the cheep Indian cotton  then the American cotton is dominant  and gets a higher price as it is the only one left
 
FFS why did i not put my money into Monsanto i could have been a millionare by now

robert that is EXACTLY what they do. well said.
its not me 'saying' this stuff. its proven facts widely available on the internet with a little research, hence my links to support  what russ and i are saying.

shovelling s**t stimulates the brain      the Indians pay scant regard to safety   my neighbour ran a steel mill in India  and the first thing he changed was the wearing of safety equipment    bare footed workers in a smelting plant not good    and we all know the affects of nerve agents which is roundup   which is organophosphate     and spray drift can cause massive depression
but that is one way of eliminating the opposition and jacking your commodity up in value

You should look at Rothamsted's GM trials in Hertfordshire http://www.rothamsted.ac.uk/Content.php?Section=AphidWheat 

Rothamsted is publicly funded and don't patent protect their work.  I think it's a good thing - and so does my friend the organic wheat farmer right next door to their site.   They are being really careful with the trials to avoid either contamination or escapes

Rothamsted have also undertaken extensive research into bees over many decades

[deepinthewoods]

nothing wrong with research, its monopoly thats the problem.
this is the problem:  showing people whats actually happening right now across the world, maybe its my style of delivery. it seems wierd tho, when pig farmers across the country are shutting down and everyones moaning about feed and food costs, when you look at monsanto you can see it is basically the cause.
 

[robert waddell]

i don't think Monsanto can be blamed for the crisis in the pig industry      it started with dioxins in the feed in germany   which reduced the sales of pork and caused a glut reducing the demand and causing a surplus combined with the economic downturn  and the poor weather in Britain and Europe  and the drought in America   cant see how Monsanto is responsible for the weather    just wait till the cattle and sheep industry suffer the same as the pig  industry has

[deepinthewoods]

pig farmer on radio5 this morning, 2000 sows sending off 500/week. shutting down to farm arable, solely blamed feed prices.

Sent you a link Dave via text . Some info on there about your friend and mine monsanto . I cant put the link on here , but i would rather get it cross checked first anyway . If it pans out , it would seem that they are making  a very dangerous move , dangerous for us that is , not them .

[deepinthewoods]

ok got it. do u want me to put it up.
i was aware that obama had signed over all crops, food, and the means of procuring them, from the people and to the government. (basically enshrining slavery again)  under homeland security rules, i had supposed monsanto would fall into that, but didnt know they were already being used.

[RUSTYME]

Upto you mate . As long as the info pans out ok as best as can be checked , then it can do no harm .
 Might make some think , the mra brigade will do their usual , but f eckem .
