Organic farmers have long been the victim of conventional contamination. This is especially true for many wind-pollinated crops such as canola and corn. Many farmers have lost an entire year’s income by having their crop (and land) contaminated by neighbors. Furthermore, they have also been sued for growing crops they didn’t pay for as Genetically Modified crops come with a tightly-held patent.
Now there is some legal relief for these distressed farmers. They are allowed to sue for contamination of their crops and recover losses.
