 | | Urge Congress to fund sustainable agriculture research to find lasting solutions to farming challenges. Can Monsanto conquer the Superweeds? Tune in to this summer's newest superhero saga and then take action to support the true heroes of modern agriculture. | ACTION ALERT
A Real Superhero for Agriculture's Challenges Dear Daniel, It's an age-old battle: farmer versus the villainous weed. For as long as we've tried to grow our own food in the soil, weeds have tried to thwart us. Today, the problem has reached true crisis proportions, while taking on a scary new twist. Two decades ago, Monsanto introduced a superhero that was supposed to save the day for farmers once and for all—the Roundup Ready system. Roundup Ready seeds were genetically engineered to tolerate Monsanto's herbicide, Roundup. But the weeds came back stronger than ever and revealed this superhero's fatal flaw… Watch our video to learn more and take action to support the true heroes who stand ready to come to the rescue. 
Sincerely,
Jenn Yates
