Seeds of Reprisal
"Seeds of Reprisal is a classic David vs Goliath saga about a courageous farmer who refused to back down when sued by Monsanto and tormented by its goons.
Michael White, a seed merchant and fourth generation farmer, was living the American Dream on Alabama’s Sand Mountain. But the dream disintegrated into a nightmare soon after he spotted a man from Monsanto spying on him.
In short order, Michael was sued for violating several of the conglomerate’s patents for genetically modified seeds and threatened with financial ruin. Refusing to buckle, he chose to battle Monsanto, and that’s when the company’s goon squad decided to teach this ‘hayseed’ a lesson he would never forget. Sparing no expense, they unleashed every unscrupulous scheme in their arsenal of dirty tricks to break White.
Seeds of Reprisal is a classic David vs. Goliath story, one that’s a testament to the indomitable human spirit and phenomenal courage one person can muster when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds. More important, this is a cautionary tale about the future and safety of our food supply that every man, woman and child should know about."
