Well they lied about how safe it is (based on court findings). Pretty simple. You make a product that's unsafe, lie about the safety and people become sick, are injured and the die from the injuries or illnesses you get sued. Pretty simple. Doesn't matter if it's Monsanto or if it's Boeing.
"No till agriculture is based on killing weeds with spray and the human race is based on that method"???? WOW? The human race is based one that method? Where did that come from? Lot of places don't use no till. Plus heck of a lot of places around the world don't even allow GMO's or Roundup. And US farmers only produce about 45% of the worlds food. And if the world needed more food? Well we could stop devoting productive land that could feed people to our gas tanks.
Guess what? Very large areas don't do no till so that's not an issue. If no till was the way all the companies making and selling tillage tools would be out of business. Here you get soil compaction problems in as little as 2 years that impact yields.
Now another thing to add to the farmers problems is that average Joe citizen has or is fast loosing confidence in the farmer. Now ask yourself why. I'm sure that most of you will blame the anti GMO folks and environmentalist. That is not the problem. The problem is that almost everyone has internet access and can research stuff as you are speaking. So you make a false comment like "No till agriculture is based on killing weeds with spray and the human race is based on that method". They can fact check you. Right away they find that the highest percentage of farmers are not doing no till, US farmers produce less than 50% of the worlds food and that we dedicate productive land for the gas tank. And now they are supposed to believe a word you say? Heck if they were trying to sell you on an idea and you caught them lying you wouldn't believe them anymore either.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
