Monsanto challenged by 75-year-old farmer in Supreme Court. (VIDEO)







On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard the case of a small Indiana farmer versus the bio-tech giant Monsanto.

In the case, a 75 year-old man is being accused of patent infringement by the company, but Vernon Bowman isn't the only farmer Monsanto is pursuing legally; overall the seed giant has filed 144 lawsuits against 410 farmers, but do the little guys stand a chance against Monsanto?

Here to discuss the ongoing battle against the bio-tech giant is Patty Lovera, assistant director for Food and Water Watch.
