Herbicide-resistant superweeds overpowering crops

You mean the company that patents crops<i>(1)</i>, locks them away from farmers<i>(2)</i>, and then files drive-by lawsuits wherever their seed drifts<i>(3)</i> is having trouble with mutant weeds?

Well, that's what happens when you don't rotate your herbicides every season like all the agriculture experts always told you to. Good luck with the next business model, Monsanto.

There was an article about this a month ago, i think here. Saying that ALL of monsanto's competitors are swooping in and seeing this as a golden opportunity to shill their own seeds and herbicides as well. monsanto needs to adapt quick. They've had quite some time to figure this out.
