I am glad we do not farm anywhere near each
other…my crops and honeybee’s would be contaminated with your GMO pollen.
That would not be good for my land…my business or our bee’s!
GMO’s are what are going to wreck the environment and natural farming all
together if not eradicated! Nothing against you personally, just your
choice of farming Courtney Herb Thyme Middlefield, Oh I will argue that some GMO crops DO have their place. I have 160
acres of bottom lands that I know till. Every year the weed base is
replenished. A GMO corn or soybean does allow me to make use of this
land. I could cultivate the weeds or try to choke it with a cover crop.
All of it has been tried. We do a single herbicide spray to kill
competing plants and that is it. No pesticides and no
other fertilizers. In other areas we do not use the same seed and do Non-GMO. I would, literally, be impossible for us to farm this land without GMO
seed types. We use a fraction of the fuel that most large scale organic production
uses too farm the same number of acres and do not irrigate at all. Both
of which are a massive drain on resources, are polluters, and wreck the environment.
Which is the lesser of two evils? I do not have the answer to that. Richard Stewart Carriage House Farm |
