Straw Poll On GMO Wheat

[boone]

fellas; let's vote first before we get polarized by other opinions. In answer to your question though, we have been assured ethanol will take all they can get locally for a price.

NO;

The CWB has taken the right tack on this one...

By the way;

Once Ag Canada has released the RR Wheat from confined production... even if it is unregistered, RR Wheat can still legally be grown on a contract 100% production contract...

Just because a variety is not registered, does not mean it cannot be grown in Canada.

This is why I so strongly believe the CGC/CWB is pushing the varietial declarations... the CDN. gov. is going to push this through...

[henbent]

boone, No. The customers say they won't buy it. GMO Canola is causing us enough problems as it is!!

[Everest]

My votes.....

on GM-RR wheat - No.

on GM-medicinal wheat (that holds a cure for cancer, arthritis, heart disease, aids, or socialism etc.) - Yes.

ESPECIALLY for socialism!

[Braveheart]

My votes are:

On Roundup Ready wheat, NO.

On other input trait wheat, like fusarium resistance, wheat midge resistance, etc., YES.

On output trait wheats, like nutriceuticals, medicinals, anti-socialisticals, etc., YES.

Monsanto's strategy is simple - introduce another Round-up dependant crop into the marketplace-therefore, sell more tua's and Round-up. Bad agronomics all around, customers don't want it, I don't need it, it's all about the money. My answer to the poll is 'no', I don't need or want it. Guess what though, it is already here, introduced through test trails, cross contaminating non-gmo wheats and will show up in test samples this year, and then Monsanto will say 'ah shucks, it's here anyways, now you might as well start buying it anyways, or SOMEONE else will and you'll be left behind." Not even 'dubbya' can 'free' us.

Yikes, I just noticed, Tom 4 and I agreed on something. Even more profound, he laid a compliment on the CWB for sharing his wisdom. I am currently verifying initial CNN reports, but it does appear that 'hell may be freezing over' as we speak. By the way, British commandos 'may' have reported that the suspected 'chemical weapons of mass destruction factory'found in southern Iraq might have been nothing more than a Monsanto gmo wheat test plot. Now there is a terrorist plot to keep you awake at night.
