Running your farm without Monsanto seed. That's the point. Farming without Monsanto seed today is a death sentence.

It's a major undertaking to switch from conventional to organic farming. Much more labor intensive, can take a few years for pesticide residues to dissipate, not even possible in some location due to neighbors. Not something most farmers are in a position to do, at least for their entire acreage.

So what? Do we continue because we're f* up anyway?
I don't think it's an option to consider alternatives in this case.

Why run farm without their seed? Can't you be buying their seed while suing their ass off?
If Monsanto think they can stop selling you their wares because they don't like you they should be dissolved today.

There are other seed companies that are competitive with Monsanto's traits. Pioneer, Syngenta.

Pioneer and some other company I can't think of right now seem to be the main seed companies around here, not Monsanto. And central Kansas is definitely farming country.

It seems that farming with Monsanto seed is just a slower death sentence.

Life is a slow death sentence. Who will commit suicide to protest Death?
Herein lies the beauty of a class action suit. Let the lawyers finance and worry about the lawsuit while you go on your merry way running your farm.
