This
part of the contract further makes farmers pay Monsanto's legal fees
and other costs of enforcement.

If the contract says anything you disagreee with, don't sign it,
simple. Sheeesh!

Which often means you would have to leave farming corn or canola.

Why? There is plenty of other seed about. Or are you saying these
don't compete with the Monsanto product? Well, grow something else
that you can make a living from or get out of farming and do something
else.

Not so simple when it has been your livelihood for generations. Now
the pollutant GM genes are nearly everywhere in Canada in those
crops, trying to avoid paying the GM tech fee is a losing battle.

No it's not. Don't buy it, don't grow it and you have no problems.

You get charged it anyway if the GM genes get on to your land.

Garbage. You haven't read the court transcripts, just read the
sensationalist popular press, or greenie propaganda.

I suppose you say litigate, but how do you pay for that when your
income stream has been cut?

Litigate for what? No-one is forcing you to buy Monsanto products or
any others, and sign contacts for the conditions of sale.
