| Back 20 or 30 years ago before GMOs crop prices were low. In the 90s, I saw harvest price for corn under $1.50. and a few years before that there were set asides to reduce production.
Corn and bean checkoffs since then have invested in new uses for grains, like bio fuels, bio plastics, plus greater use of corn fructose in place of sugar that have significantly increased the demand for these grains plus a growing world population has increased demand for food whether these crops direct or the animals they feed.
I don't think cutting back on production by eliminating GMOs will result in higher prices. Probably be better at producing wars fighting over crop lands for feeding big hungry countries. And it won't help the environment because the herbicides needed are really hard on the environment and the applicators and the neighbors.
