POPSGoodbye farmers markets, CSAs, and roadside stands Farmers markets. Local farmers. Real milk. Fresh eggs. Vegetable stands. Those are things we not only all want, but things we are actively getting involved in, and things we very much need. And where they are truly good, they are growing. The international financial corporations which have wreaked havoc around the world with astounding nonsensical "solutions" that are destructive of everyone but them, are brothers to the international agribusiness giants (Monsanto, Cargill, Tysons, ADM, etc.) which are just as aggressively after their own form of "taking." Just seeds, animals, water, land. And freedom.

The seeds and mulch will cost $200 and they'll be able to harvest spinach, chard, collards and cilantro, among other things.

POPSA solemn walk through HR 875 The Pennsylvania Sustainable Agriculture Association, PASA, sent out information about HR 875 which lists 'facts' to counter 'myths' and 'rumors' on the internet.

It doesn’t actually matter how the genetically modified organisms get into an organic farmer’s field or into the fields of a conventional farmer like myself: once there, those seeds and plants become Monsanto’s property.” It was a very startling decision. The judge also ruled that we were not allowed to use our seeds or plants again and that all the seeds and plants that we had developed over 50 years became the property of Monsanto. The judge also ruled that all the profit from my 1998 canola crop was payable to Monsanto. The judge further ruled that even from the land that had no contamination, all profit would be payable to Monsanto because there was a probability that our seed contained some of Monsanto’s GMOs. The really worrying thing is how we can lose our rights and freedoms. The contract from Monsanto, take
