Good point, its in folks like us nature to want to please people, but your right there needs to be some reason involved.

How far does pollen travel? Might there be others in your neighborhood who are trying to grow non bt corn that might have their crop contaminated? These are concerns that i would have. I wouldn't want their genes in my body so i would not buy bt corn.
If you believe what these growers are saying here about bt it makes it easier to educate your customers that what you are doing has more conscience to it. They will then feel they are doing the right thing by avoiding bt or genetically modified organisms altogether. Monsanto has millions to spend brainwashing people with advertising that only tells what they want us to hear. If people are going to hear about a better way it will have to be from you and me. If enough of us kindly educate our customers when they are open to hear we can change far more than we (or i) sometimes believe. I hope this didn't sound like i was driving a nail in your cross. I wasn't. Good luck with your decision.

Ive asked about bt sweet corn on other sites and was crucified, but not many of them were realy growing for thier livlihood. But you all seem to be more open minded. I love to grow sweet corn, its always a good seller, but its a constant battle with ear worms. Todays customer will not tolerate anything like that, If you cut the ends off and that end browns they wont buy that either. What is you alls opinion on bt corn.Also how well does it keep before going starchy. I need a corn that will keep its eating quality for at least a day or two.thanks :josh_______________________________________________Market-farming mailing list
