Braced by financial support from around the world, Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser vowed yesterday to continue his legal battle with U.S.-based giant Monsanto Corp. over genetically modified canola.

Mr. Schmeiser said he has received $50,000 in contributions to finance an appeal of a ruling that he had knowingly grown a crop of Monsanto's Roundup Ready canola without its permission.
