The crop destruction took place over the course of two separate nights in early June, when an unknown individual or group destroyed about 6,500 sugar beet plants genetically engineered to stand up to the herbicide Roundup on a pair of privately-owned plots of land leased and managed by Syngenta. The first act of what the FBI considers "economic sabotage and a violation of federal law involving damage to commercial agricultural enterprises," took place during the night of June 8, when about 1,000 sugar beet plants on one property were destroyed. Three nights later, the destruction continued on another property, where another 5,500 plants were ruined.

Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Genetically engineered sugar beets destroyed in southern Oregon - economic sabotage Oregon's sugarbeets aren't made into sugar, they are grown for seed to plant elsewhere.
So those 6,500 plants actually represent acres of sugarbeets destroyed. |
