I grow food for a living too, but GMO is something I avoid for my own consumption at every viable level, and the farm is turning away from GMO as well. GMO is not and will not be the future, Organic Certified is and will be the future.
This is exactly why I couldn't help bumping this thread. Gmos are an amazing invention. I work on the research side of it with my own firm, and I work with organic producers as well. Gmos use fewer pesticides, less water and are overall better for the environment as they require less tillage and are starting to use less nutrients out of the soil as well.
Organic certified is a marketing tool catering to the misinformed. I'd like to see your evidence for why you avoid gmos, or why you think organic is the future or even any evidence that farming is turning away from gmos. Organic production is up, but so are cultivated acres using gmo seeds.
Also, earlier in the thread a guy said that gmos have pesticides inside them. No, they have proteins in them that are toxic to certain insects. Just like avocados have proteins in them that are toxic to horses! This is the bs information that burns me up.
Monsanto (and Syngenta, and Bayer and DuPont etc) are all amazing companies and no one controls the food supply. They never treat farmers poorly, I know, I am one as well. Gmos have also increased variety, as there are now thousands of hybrids. So food security will be ensured in future. Lastly, there are no "terminator" seeds on the market. As in none, Monsanto patented that and has locked it up so no one else can use it either. That's not evil, that's downright humanitarian.
Sorry to ammosupply for partaking in this. But I would LOvE to see their food labeled (proudly containing gmos). You'd think that a group of gun guys would be composed of farmers and guys that hate misinformation and rhetoric. Which is exactly what the organic and anti gmo groups are.
