4. Oh jeez, I'm a small organic farmer and have first hand experience with this

Unfortunately you've posted this just as I was about to get off (6 am comes damn early).

The "mafia" as we call them are notorious for intimidating small farmers who don't have the financial resources to hold up in court against them. Have you seen Food Inc? There's a great story in there about the only small farmer guy who managed to win against Monsanto and probably a fluke. They are very, very powerful and ruthless. Their hazardous waste sites are notorious....

Here's a piece of trivia, did you know Clarence Thomas was an attorney for Monsanto?? Wonder who pulled the big (corporate) strings for his rise in stature....
