Monsanto and its new buyer, the multinational Bayer, received its second historic condemnation yesterday, 19 March. The first occurred in 2018, when a jury composed of Californian citizens linked Dewayne Lee Johnson's cancer to glyphosate cancer, more commercially known as Roundup, which is used to kill weed from orchards and fields.

On this occasion, the chemistry giant has lost his judgment to Edwin Hardeman, a 70-year-old farmer. Harpom used the Roundup on his 22-acre farm from 1980 to 2012, when it was believed that weeds and brawls should be dried. In 2015, doctors diagnosed him with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and a year later decided to bring Monsanto to trial, reproaching the corporation to give him "false and liar information" about his star product, which he sells successfully around the world.
