Subject: Roundup Ready sweet corn


michigan		I raised some RR sweetcorn last year great corn. I have a campground close to me that wants to buy corn from me. Do I need to disclose that my sweet corn is GMO.

SE Nebraska

Unless there is a state law, nope. there is no labeling requirement. I grew some last year and the same variety in non gmo, you couldn't tell the difference. 

But as a custom applicator I have taken out more than one sweet corn patch when they forgot to tell me where it was and it got sprayed through!

All RR this year. It just makes life easier.

North Liberty and South Bend, Indiana		Expensive up front but we threw out three ears with worms out of several hundred dozen. Would have been way more waste with conventional corn. I really like the taste of the obsession 2. Not sure if all RR sweetcorns are traited against worms but the obsession seems to be.

Mid Minnesota		We have been growing gly resistant sweet corn since it came out and I believe at this time that all varieties are bt protected, We also grew bt traited sweet corn before the gly resistance came to market and still do late season helps with ear worms a lot . Love the bt package and could care less about the gly resistance now . You could plant that and get the bt protection and use non gly weed control . here we use lumax but there are many others and the seed is less

I am also wondering about that RR stuff. Is it safe to eat?
Do you disclose this to your buyers?

We used to raise and sell some sweet corn, when our kids were younger.

michigan		I ordered mine from Rupp seed dealer. Or go online and order it direct. Thanks for all the replays. A lot of people in this campground are from bigger cities I just worry about some big city lawyer. I'm going to tell the guy that runs the camp ground that it is Gmo corn and go from there.

legally u do not have to disclose that its GMO. However I think it is important to let your customers know. They will respect you for that. I get questioned every year by our customers weather it is or not. We don't grow BT or RR. Im not making a statement either way for or against. Remember easiest always better
