Hello! Up until a month ago I was a little bit jealous of how well the corn was growing at a farm on North West Bay road and I wished my corn looked as green. But then I started noticing that the entire field of corn was the exact same height and I started figuring it was because it was genetically modified and I was no longer jealous of that cornfield and I was more thankful for my raggedy corn patch. I figure with my none genetically modified corn - if worse come to worse and something started killing the plants I would still wind up with a couple of ears of corn but with genetically modified seed they might loose every single plant. I also figure that with my corn I can harvest a few ears at a time – but with modified corn it might get done all at the same time. I am pretty sure my corn tastes better then the corn grow on north west bay road because theirs is animal feed corn and that’s what got me started on this post. They feed their dairy cows with this genetically modified corn and sell the milk to the co-op were I buy my dairy products and I am not sure if I should be worried about that. I live on an Island and if all the farmers are growing genetically modified corn and all the corn gets wiped out the price of meat would skyrocket. Cheers!
A lot depends on how it was modified. Farmers for years have hybridized by crossbreeding certain strains. Sometimes by careful selection of natural occuring sports. Nothing wrong with that. It's one way our farmers have outproduced foreign countries for years. And they probably have bred their crop to be resistant to common diseases and pests.
