This couldn't happen to a better company.

Monsanto Weedkiller Is  ‘ Probably Carcinogenic,’ WHO Says
Bloomberg News - Jack Kaskey - 3/20/15
Quote:
Monsanto Co.’s best-selling weedkiller Roundup probably causes cancer,
the World Health Organization said in a report that’s at odds with prior findings.

Roundup is the market name for the chemical glyphosate.
A report published by the WHO in the journal Lancet Oncology said Friday there is
“limited evidence” that the weedkiller can cause non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and lung cancer
and “convincing evidence” it can cause cancer in lab animals.

The report was posted on the website of the International Agency for Research on Cancer,
or IARC, the Lyon, France-based arm of the WHO

Even if it is not the case, I hope this article scares the bejesus out of farmers and the public
...enough to break this litigious corporation in it's march towards monopoly over food crops.
