so what is your plan to educate the consumer?, there is just as much science out there saying its not safe as there is saying its safe, you can argue the science all day but the unargueable fact is the consumer wants a certified production standard which they have some say so in how it is produced. Do you have that or do you just want to tell your consumer its safe. I ask you this simple question. are you willing to stand behind and be responsible in every possible way for every single bushel produced across the world for the crop you grow. before you say yes you might think about the consequences of sygenta in the last few years. we sell grain and sell it to consumers that approve of our growing practices. I do not doubt you do a great job and raise a good product, but the problem with your production is you will not be rewarded for that good production unless you keep it seperate and certify it with some sort of consumer approved growing practice.

If you want to educate teh consumer get them involved in the growing practice and do this by asking them for a growing practice which they approve and then show them what it will cost and that will educate them more then anything. untill you get tehm involved in the decisions and get tehm to see teh costs of the production they will just assume the best can be done for nothing.  THE CONSUMER MUST AND WANTS TO BE INVOLVED IN DECISIONS,  they do not want to be told what to eat.
