FARMER TO BATTLE MONSANTO IN COURT

Sask. farmer to battle Monsanto in court WebPosted Fri May 19 16:06:46 2000 ET http://cbc.ca/cgi-bin/templates/NWview.cgi?/news/2000/05/19/percy000519

BRUNO, SASK. - Percy Schmeiser and food giant Monsanto will meet in court early next month over the issue of genetically modified canola.

Percy Schmeiser countersuing Monsanto for $10 million Two years ago, Monsanto sued the Saskatchewan farmer for illegally growing Monsanto's special, genetically modified canola called "Roundup Ready."

The 68-year-old Schmeiser decided to fight back. He sued Monsanto for $10 million, accusing the biochemical giant of contaminating his farm.

Monsanto sells its genetically modified canola seeds to farmers, but the farmers are not allowed to use the Monsanto seeds from one crop to grow another crop, which is what farmers traditionally do. They must buy new seeds from Monsanto every year.

The selling point for Monsanto's canola is that it can survive Monsanto's Roundup herbicide. It kills other plants without killing Monsanto's canola.

The conflict began two years ago when Monsanto discovered its genetically modified canola growing on Schmeiser's 1,400-acre farm.

Last September, Schmeiser told CBC News Online that Monsanto accused him of stealing its canola seeds. Schmeiser maintains the Monsanto seeds blew onto his property and germinated.

Schmeiser examines wandering canola

"Now they're saying it doesn't matter how the (Monsanto canola) gets into a farmer's field," Schmeiser said. "Doesn't matter if it's blown onto the field or if it's by cross-pollination. They say it's their patent and if they find it on your field they'll take your crop, they'll sue you, they'll fine you."

Schmeiser says he could have predicted the current problems in Europe with genetically modified canola seeds spreading to neighbouring farms. "It was bound to happen," Schmeiser told CBC News Online on Friday. "And when it does, the seeds spread like a prairie grass fire."

DISCUSS: Down on the Farm forum

Schmeiser's farm is just east of Saskatoon. He said aphids have blown there from North Dakota — and canola seeds are lighter than aphids. Unless someone backs off, Schmeiser and Monsanto are due to meet in the federal court in Saskatoon on June 5.

Schmeiser has spent $35,000 in legal fees going up against Monsanto.
