Stop the Monsanto-Bayer merger!
I urge you to block the proposed merger between Bayer and Monsanto.
This deal would create a new corporate giant in an already consolidated market for seeds and agricultural chemicals, leaving farmers and consumers with fewer options and higher prices.
Just a few companies already have too much power over the basic building blocks of our food system.
Please block this deal to prevent further corporate control of our food.

Why is this important?
Bayer and Monsanto are already giant corporations. If allowed to merge, they would control enormous market share in GMO seeds and related pesticides.
This is the latest in a series of big agriculture company mergers — leaving just a few companies with control over the building blocks of our food system.
This consolidated market leaves farmers with fewer options and higher prices, and it results in fewer real options for everyone at the grocery store.
Monsanto and Bayer already exert outsize influence to downplay the negative consequences of their products, including neonicotinoid pesticides, which harm bees and monarch butterflies, and glyphosate, a probable human carcinogen.
Federal regulators should block this merger to prevent further corporate control of our food supply.
