Indiana farmer Hugh Bowman had his day in court yesterday. In the US
Supreme Court. Battling American ag science giant, Monsanto. Over
soybeans. Farmer Bowman uses Monsanto’s genetically-engineered beans to
plant his soybean crop. They’re fine with that. He pays plenty for
Monsanto’s high tech beans. But farmer Bowman also planted beans he
bought at the grain elevator and put in his field. Monsanto did not like
that. Those are ours, they said. We own that life. Yesterday, the
Supreme Court heard the case. This hour, On Point: Farmer Bowman versus
Monsanto, and who owns life.
