Activists Help Farmer Who Owes Over $80K After Losing Monsanto Patent CaseHeather Callaghan You may have heard of 76-year-old Vernon Hugh Bowman from Indiana who tenaciously took on Monsanto all the way to the Supreme Court over a patent infringement claim. Since the Supreme Court upheld Monsantos end the other day, Bowman now owes $84,456 to the multi-billion GMO giant Monsanto. It was a landmark case with currently unknown implications, especially for farmers whose fields are unwittingly contaminated with patented Monsanto seeds. You can read more details on the case here. According to a fund-raising effort created by Garret John LoPorto, Bowman barely has enough to make ends meet, using run-down tractors and having tried using second-hand seeds from granaries. The effort was inspired by a website called UpRising where people share ideas and get together to create solutions and support.
