I missed this when it was first published. The family farm is in danger of being run over by not only Monsanto, but the Too Big To Fail corporate farms. God help us.
The rightwing radio nooz casters mentioned the Indiana farmer with the case before the Supreme Court against Monsanto. Vernon Bowman was portrayed as a greedy farmer who tried to get away with “stealing” Monsanto technology without paying for it. I was just stunned.
More farmer protests here.
And British farmers’ action.
Protests in Poland.
And in India–farmers protesting pipelines.
In Canada.
And here is a piece of history--farmers protesting the 1977 Food Bill–when the blizzard struck.
From the last link:
The protesters stayed, camped out on the Washington Mall. During that time a blizzard hit the city with 20-inches of snow. Farmers used their tractors to help dig out the city. Some tractors transported doctors and nurses to hospitals. AAM women even cooked and cleaned in hospitals when other staff couldn’t make it in.
