The last point about seed blowing has been debunked. It is listed as myth number 2 here: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2012/10/18/163034053/top...
> So why is this a myth? It's certainly true that Monsanto has been going after farmers whom the company suspects of using GMO seeds without paying royalties. And there are plenty of cases — including Schmeiser's — in which the company has overreached, engaged in raw intimidation, and made accusations that turned out not to be backed up by evidence.
> But as far as I can tell, Monsanto has never sued anybody over trace amounts of GMOs that were introduced into fields simply through cross-pollination.
Another source [1] says, "its report, called Seed Giants vs US Farmers, the CFS said it had tracked numerous law suits that Monsanto had brought against farmers and found some 142 patent infringement suits against 410 farmers and 56 small businesses in more than 27 states."
I wonder how judiciously the NPR reporter reviewed these 142 patent infringement suits to discern whether none concerned small amounts of cross-contamination. Color me skeptical.

The case was thrown as it was ruled as Monsanto stated that they didn't intend to sue if you had trace amount of contamination.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. There's lots of potential for biopatents to be harmful but there is also a pretty huge gray area.
