Love the way the academic crushes the little NFU'ers arguments.

Can someone please please stick a one month old pair of dirty shorts in this guy's mouth?

Yeah, you can't beat the unbiased opinion of a
scientist eh?

University of Melbourne major donors 2010 -
$100,000 to $500,000 - Monsanto USA.

Just think, if the NFU had deeper pockets the
professor would be championing the cause of the
CWB.

@grassfarmer
Are you going to refute his arguments or stick to ad-hominem?

Pick one, and run with it your articulate.

Actually articulate for a guy just making it up.

hes not been in SA that i know but every year we get a troupe of canadian farmers and or experts telling us the evils of gm crops.

but hey for me i doubt i will grow them no real need here yet but i beleive farmers should have choice to do so if they wish without the constant rhetoric that goes with it.

ps all gm crops thus far in australai have yeild penalty in dry areas my agronomist supports it with all there trials but he says it may well change down the trrack

Sounds like a real wingnut fits the genotype of grassfarmer...Scared of change...

**wilagro** · Feb 17, 2012, 09:13

ProFarmer: Perhaps you will change when ALL of the weeds on your farm are RoundUp resistant...every year more and more of this resistance is occurring.

**grassfarmer** · Feb 17, 2012, 10:00

Oh yeah profarmer, I'm real scared of change.
I sold up an 8th generation farm operation, changed
countries, changed continents, changed the
management of my new land, the grass and the
water. I changed the way we produce our protein
product, changed the way we market it. I love change
- progressive, environmentally and financially
sustainable change.
I have no interest in dumb change, change for the
sake of change, change that is not environmentally
sustainable.

Malleefarmer,
What happens to the choice of farmers who wish to
NOT grow GM crops when they are introduced by
those who do? Contamination has occurred
everywhere GM crops are introduced. This is a genie
that can't be put back in the bottle.
