For years, cotton farmers have sprayed pig weed as part of their annual routine, and there has never been any major outbreak. Now that Monsanto has gotten involved with the genetically modified cotton crop, pig weed as evolved into something that can no longer be controlled.

In true Monsanto fashion, they blamed the farmer!

Monsanto’s cash cow combo: Roundup Ready seed and Roundup herbicide, have aided Mother Nature in coming up with a workaround. Oh but don’t worry, Monsanto’s chemical solution to this problem is just around the corner. A Monsanto rep promises that a super-pig weed killer will be on the market by, oh, 2015 or so.

At that time they can start working on another chemical treatment to control the then new super weed that will become resistant to this solution.

The chemical treadmill is working perfectly well, for Monsanto.
