Monsanto are declining to sell 2,4-D resistant varieties of soybeans next
year. They do say that the companies will focus on their own next generation
soybeans that are resistant to other types of herbicides but one has to
wonder if there are enough health risks associated with dumping massive
amounts of 2,4-D over the entire Midwest that the companies are worried
about incredibly expensive class action suits?
