What's For Dinner?

Peter Carstensen Peter Carstensen is tonight's guest. Earlier this year, the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association lost its lawsuit against Monsanto. Lawyer and law school professor Carstensen talks about the next case people hoped would protect farmers from Monsanto in the courts - Bowman v. Monsanto. Carstensen describes the Supreme Court's finding in a patent infringement against Mr. Bowman, the Indiana farmer who purchased and planted soybeans, not from Monsanto, but from a grain elevator. You hear about the finding and its ramifications, the opportunity it gives Congress to act, and how the court appears to have stepped carefully in terms of future cases.
