Farmer: GMO Corn Sterilized My Pigs
Pig farmer Jerry Rosman claimed agrochemical
giant Monsanto was engaged in a systematic
campaign to harass, intimidate and threaten
any farmer who spoke up about their corn
sterilizing animals.
Rosman, of Harlan, Iowa, found that his 2000
corn crop caused his pigs -- and those of nearby
farmers -- to become sterile as a result of GMO
corn that mimicked estrogen in the swines' bodies.
Eventually, said Rosman, the debacle put him
out of business.
Rosman says that the University of Iowa initially
backed his findings and similar ones by other
farmers, but then they caved, due to pressure to
get grants from Monsanto.
In the absence of long-term animal trials, his
concerns are not likely to go away.
