    You and I wish, Ludi.

    Any organic farmer will spend a minimum of a quarter-million trying to prove that he was done any damage. Opposing lawyers will file mountains of paperwork to stall. The chem companies will throw lawyers behind even a small conventional farmer to avoid precedent against them.

    A completely worthless ruling, in effect. Good precedent, but useless.

    You can win a battle here and there, but still lose the war.

    Sorry to be a buzzkill.

    Great first step!!!
    Isnt there a way that lawyers can represent a whole group of clients for the same offence.
    If one farmer has been contaminated then his neighbours will most likely be in the same situation.
