earlier you quoted someone and it took me forever to find that info again LOL. kevin folta was the guy's name. this is another quote from him

"A delusional biotech opponent seeking to harm the reputation of a public scientist at a major research institution will be only a few steps away from making some lame association. Certainly Monsanto (and others) have funded work at my university. Not my work.
My funding is all transparent and comes from USDA, FDACS, NSF, Florida Strawberry Industry and another ag company that does not commercialize transgenics.
There is one faculty member in my department, Dr. Mark Settles, that had his appointment funded by the Vasil-Monsanto Professorship. That's probably what Christy's super sleuthing found. Mark is a sharp guy, amazing scientist. You can review his publications. Nothing to do with GMO technology and not much (if any) of direct interest to Monsanto. "
ok so monsanto does not fund his work - but could his outcomes be swayed to make monsanto look beter? the link is there, if monsanto is a major financial contributor to the school?
again i do not know all the details here, just sharing information and thoughts.
here is some other information, again no scientific facts. if monsanto is producing superior products, why do they need protected?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmer_Assurance_Provision
"The Farmer Assurance Provision refers to Section 735 (formerly Section 733) of US H.R. 933, a bill that was passed by the Senate on March 20, 2013 and then signed into law as part of theConsolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 by President Barack Obama on March 26, 2013.[1] The provisions of this bill remain in effect for six months, until the end of thefiscal year on September 30, 2013.[2] The bill is commonly referred to as the “Monsanto Protection Act” by its critics.[3][4][5]"
