Title: Re: [market-farming] Genetically Engineered Corn
Hi Leig...but arn't the creepy crawlies that plague our crops also becoming more resistant to the various topical spray's that are presently being used by most farmers? Seems we are caught between a rock and a hard place on this one.
how can you read that little print. I
guess I'm getting old.
No resistance to bt. And before I
would trust the people working on gmo's I would want 20 or 30 years
of carefully, carefully monitored research before I would allow it
out into the real world. But that's not what we are going to
get, we are going to get quick turn around for quick profit.
And I don't want to hear from anyone saying 'the government forces
the chemical companies to fully test their product.' If you do, I
have some real estate to sell you. And anyone who has ever read a
seed catalogue or listened to a seed salesman knows, these characters
are worse than used car salesman.
No matter what potential good, the
potential bad is a lot worse. This is something that there must be
extreme caution with. I think its called the precautionary
principle.
