Monsanto's "Roundup Ready" wheat, which was never approved by U.S. regulators and which the company said it stopped testing a decade ago, was found growing in an Oregon farmer's field in 2013. The company had said all the experimental grain was destroyed or stored away....Monsanto did not admit liability, but agreed to pay $250,000 to wheat growers' associations, including $100,000 to the National Wheat Foundation, and $50,000 each to the Washington Association of Wheat Growers, the Oregon Wheat Growers' League and the Idaho Grain Producers' Association. It will also pay $2.125 million into a settlement fund for farmers in Washington, Oregon and Idaho who sold soft white wheat between May 30, 2013, and Nov. 30, 2013.

Whut a coinkydink - I was just mentioning this on Friday:
Popular weed killer deemed “probable carcinogen” by UN (glyphosate, e.g. “Roundup”)
Unapproved genetically modified wheat from Monsanto found in Oregon field

Thank you for those links. In this article, I put a link on the words "R0und Up" to the recent W.H.O. statements concerning the likely carcinogenic nature of glyph0sate. The approval of "R0und-up Ready" crops means all your food gets sprayed with R0und-up.

This is a topic that deserves attention from both the Left and Right wing - from everyone who farms and/or eats.
