Monsanto's lawyers said they will fight Johnson and every other lawsuit in the country alleging that the active ingredient in the world's most popular herbicide—glyphosate—causes cancer. Johnson's lawsuit was the first lawsuit to go to trial, and several more appear ready to start early next year.

Judge Suzanne Bolanos cut the jury's award for Johnson to $78 million on Monday but upheld its verdict against St. Louis-based Monsanto.
