U dont think bushels per acre affect profit margin? Not even remotely as much as $ per bushel.

As the population grows on this earth or when we have a major weather event in a major crop growing region we will learn the true value of the increased value of higher production gained through GMO. I hope too many dont have to starve before are eyes r open. Debating with people whose minds are made up and wont listen is kind of pointless. The left hate anything that is good for this country and they hate GMOs with no science to back their "fears ". Most of where anti GMO started is with the same people that are anti trapping and hunting and want to take are guns.
Waggler it will get me cross with a lot of the people in my industry but I agree with you I hate government subsidies and wish they would do away with all subsidies for all businesses and industries.

We have all walked a bean field from oct through April, The only thing going on is erosion. In April when yards are greening up, trees are budding, bean field is still nothing, Don't understand why you would do this to your soil. X2 I don't get it either.
wanna be goat farmer.

I think GMOs are safe 99% of the time, there are probably a couple out that shouldnt be. Being compared to old version of corn or wheat from 200 years ago is not the same though. We got rid of those old strains through natural selection a long time ago by not planting seeds from undesirable crops. It took longer, but the corn was natural. The corn 200 years ago was bigger than corn 100 years before that. Farmers always pick the largest and strongest possible crops for planting the next season.
GMOs on the other hand are patented and owned by corporations. Corporations are in charge of the strains, and farmers cannot do what they want with the seed anymore due to restrictions placed on the patented products. So now farmers may have worse land then they did 100 years ago, but are able to produce twice as much. What happens when these companies that own these patented seeds get bought by some Chinese company? Would we really not think twice? After a decade or so of GMOs being popular, how many people would return to Non GMOs just to make sure they can secure future crops from lawyers and corporations? Not that there is anything to worry about right now, but it seems things keep changing faster than usual. These companies also know that if they get caught not following best practices, it would be a decade or two before this government would be able to hold anyone accountable, if ever.
