Bayer, Without A Hoe, Loses 5th Trial In A Row
Okay, it's a bad play on words.
Bayer (you know them b/c they also make Gadolinium, the subject of other lawsuits) has just lost the fifth straight trial over long-grain rice crops. The Washington Post detailed the overwhelmingly successful efforts of farmers to prove to juries that Bayer's genetically engineered seeds were contaminated, causing U.S. crop exports to plunge, and hurting the business of domestic farmers. There are 500 more cases, and Bayer has already lost $52 million.
