Monsanto's latest invention is giving farmers to a painful choice: Buy Monsanto's genetically engineered seeds or watch their entire crop fail.

Monsanto has just launched a new strain of soybeans genetically engineered to resist the Monsanto pesticide dicambia. And now, so much dicambia is being sprayed that it's spreading hundreds of miles away, killing non-genetically engineered crops everywhere in its wake.

It's like Monsanto has put a gun to farmers' heads and saying, “Buy our genetically engineered crops, or else."

We're teaming up with organic farmers and scientists to demand that local governments ban genetically engineered dicambia-resistant seeds. Will you chip in today?

Monsanto created dicambia-resistant crops for one reason: to get farmers to buy their dicambia pesticide. But in hot weather, dicambia turns into a gas and drifts so far in the wind that it's forcing all farmers to buy Monsanto's genetically engineered seeds whether they want to or not.

This problem has been especially bad in the southern U.S., where two weeks ago, the State Plant Board of Arkansas voted to ban the sale and use of dicambia. But the ban won't go into effect unless approved by a committee of the state legislature.

We can't just assume politicians will do the right thing when they're getting major campaign contributions from agribusiness corporations like Monsanto. We need to mobilize major grassroots pressure.

And at the same time, we need to watch out for the spread of dicambia-resistant seeds wherever Monsanto is pushing them.

Will you chip in to help stop Monsanto's latest genetically engineered disaster?
