Monsanto And Genetic Modificaiton, Part Two - Percy Schmeiser, #80
Percy Schmeiser is a farmer and seed developer from Bruno, Saskatchewan, Canada. His canola fields were contaminated with Monsanto’s Round-Up Ready Canola.

Talking Biotech with Dr. Kevin Folta
Trish Jordan: Hollywood and the Percy Schmeiser Story
The story of Percy Schmeiser is a well known tale of big biotech against the little farmer from rural Saskatchewan. Schmeiser grew canola, and his outstanding harvests were due to herbicide tolerant seeds that he grew himself from materials obtained from means other than purchase. This violation of patent rights became the fodder of activist organizations, and a test of how a large company would respond to an unlicensed use of their technology. Schmeiser became the darling of anti-GMO activists, and he became the figurehead of a conversation about technology, patents, farmers’ rights, and seed sovereignty. This week’s podc...

Bioneers: Ecological Food and Farming
Corporate Power v. the Small Farmer | Percy Schmeiser
Percy Schmeiser was targeted by Monsanto’s gene police, who claimed he was using Monsanto’s patented genetics, even though Schmeiser had never used any Monsanto products. His crop, unbeknownst to him, was genetically contaminated, ruining his 50-year-old seed-breeding program. Refusing to capitulate, the victim was charged with the crime. But Monsanto picked on the wrong guy. Schmeiser took the case to the Supreme Court and became an international spokesperson against the injustice and bio-vandalism of genetic engineering. This speech was given at the 2003 Bioneers Annual Conference and is part of the Ecological Food and Farming Collection, Vol. 1. Since 1990, Bioneers has...
