HE two farmers at the centre of Australia’s first reported case of alleged Genetically Modified canola ”contamination” have faced off at a public meeting captured in a video now posted on YouTube. [...] Mr Baxter, who has declined to speak to media on the issue throughout the past six months on advice from his lawyer, also questioned Mr Marsh.
”What gives the organic farmer the right to dictate what his neighbour grows?” Mr Baxter asked. ”Isn’t it already a case that the organic farmer has lost his livelihood – so how can that be an argument?” Mr Marsh replied.
