September 26, 2017 ǀ Syngenta MIR 162 GMO Corn Litigation – Today will be remembered as a momentous day in U. S. agriculture history as Syngenta agreed to pay U.S. corn producers $1.5 billion to settle the sprawling litigation over its premature release of MIR 162 GMO corn seed (Agrisure Viptera and Agrisure Duracade) before the seeds were approved by China. There are numerous detailed terms yet to be negotiated. Those discussions will begin the week of October 2 with a view towards presenting a formal settlement agreement to the courts in late October.
