For what it is worth, the Silicon Valley tech giants have their own fair share of lawsuits[1][2][3]. I don't think that detracts from what kind of company they are.
I am a practicing farmer though, so I actually have to deal with them, not just read about them from afar, so perhaps I am biased on the subject.
