75 year old vs. Monsanto, farmer sees lawsuit reach U.S. Supreme Court

75-year-old soybean farmer sees Monsanto lawsuit reach U.S. Supreme Court

>that is awesome!  i will say a prayer for Mr Bowman.. as long as there are still good men and women willing to stand against evil we have hope.

Yes, I will devote a meditation for the farmer's success, also.

For all home gardeners, visit the list of Monsanto-free seed companies put together by Occupy Monsanto at http://www.occupymonsanto360.org/2012/03/06/monsanto-free-seed-comp...

Vote with your pocketbook if you can!

Bless his heart.  I will say a blessing for him today, then I will do a blessing a day so he is not forgotten.  He is a brave man.

Right on!!  Thanks Tara, sharing this.
