Resistant Pigweed has become economically very important in cotton and other crops as it is now completely resistant to Monsanto's products. This is natural selection at work, hammer fields with application after application of herbicide and resistance gens will begin to prevail. We never learn (see insecticides and antibiotics).

If a non-Monsanto farmer gets a seed in their farmland from a Monsanto farmer Monsanto moves in to sue the non-Monsanto farmer and make their lives miserable. Monsanto is scary. They own a great deal of the seeds used to make our food. Soy is now in something like 80% of all food types - but it is not real soy. It is being blamed by some for the early onset of physical maturity in children where estrogen levels are artificially high. This can lead to cancer - breast and etc. This whole thing is scary and Monsanto needs to be broken apart and we need natural seeds back. Go green.

I've never been anti-GMO crop, but I have been very concerned about a few companies having a near monopoly of the market combined with increased intellectual property protections in the developed world (not to forget increasing IP litigation around GMO crop infringement).
