Thousands of farmers march in central Ha

Thousands of farmers march in central Haiti near Hinche on Friday, June 4, 2010, claiming the government was misleading them with seed donations from US multinational Monsanto. The region was spared the worst of the January quake which leveled much of the capital Port-au-Prince, but with a dire shortage of seeds in the Caribbean country, farmers are struggling to get the supplies to work their land. Giant company Monsanto is donating 475 tons of maize to Haitian farmers in cooperation with Project Winner, a USAID initiative, which aims to increase the country's agricultural productivity, the agriculture ministry said. But farmers fear they are being given seeds which could threaten local varieties. AFP PHOTO / Alice SPERI (Photo credit should read Alice SPERI/AFP via Getty Images)
