Interesting take, but we are all deep in with the canola seed companies now.

That fight was lost a long time ago.

In 2009 when we were experimenting with Clearfield varieties, hundreds of farmers had a volunteer crop of canola come into their lentils that yr. We were warned to terminate that crop.

In 2008 I had some rep from BASF determined to inspect my fields. He phoned me every few days for the entire summer and would not quit. Saw him come into my field when we were swathing, took a turn in the road allowance and left. Not sure if he got out or what. To this day still dont know what that inspection was about. Never happened again.

Why, because it brings to light the bullshit laws farmers are forced to follow?

[farmaholic]

.......beware of the unintended consequences.

Think for a minute.

Which bullshit laws are you referring to?

If you are a farmer worth your salt, you know what I am talking about.

Or maybe you can watch the movie, and enlighten yourself.

Just going to make Joe Public freak out over GMOs and bash on farmers ruining the world.

Or maybe they’ll realize buying GMO free potato chips isn’t that hard to do, compared to finding GMO free margarine.

Hah. As if.

I agree totally. The use of their technology comes with a fair bit of control but if we were to cry wolf to the public we would just turn the light on ourselves and be worse off for the outcome. catch 22.

I would rather be beholden to Bayer and BASF than have some SJWs protesting my farm.

I couldn't stop laughing. Chris Walken as Percy? If he told Monsanto to get lost in that voice of his they'd have run for their lives.

The story in the movie will be the furthest thing from the truth , we all know that .
The concern is and I agree with Blathin , the hyper sensitive anti GMO crowd will run wild with this when released. Social media was in its infancy back then . The problem will be how the anti GMO crowd and SJW’s sways Joe Public .... that’s a concern for all of us . This will not be about evil Monsanto any more , they got buried into Bayer , then again into BASF . We may be the target now .... farma nailed it .... beware of unintended consequences...
It could be a giant bear trap .....
the story would be great , if it were true , that’s the problem . Percy got caught , then played the victim card ..... very similar to many events today ... everyone claims to be the victim with zero responsibility for their own actions.
I hope that is wrong , but I fear not .
On the flip side it will put pressure on the Ag industry to back off on the current issues of seed entitlement going forward..... will be interesting.
Then again it may just get little attention and go away , but I doubt that .
At the end of the day , we as farmers need to be making more money for the risks involved . Every one else in the Ag industry is taking way too much of the pie for farmers to remain viable , and it’s getting worse every single year.
Change needs to happen , and soon .
So I am on the fence with this Percy thing .... again . It’s like dragging up the age old CWB debate ... never seems to go away .
We have more than enough major issues to deal with daily already , again farma hit the nail on the head .

I wonder if the Percy movie will be offered for free download from BitTorrent? Ya know, in the spirt of stealing other peoples intellectual property.

Or maybe for once you could post what you actually mean. What bullshit laws are you referring to?

What do you mean for once? I have been more straight up than you or chuck or wd9.

For instance. Am I talking to wd9, his wife, or someone else that you gave your password to?

You of all people should talk.
