Northern Indiana | If he can get non-gmo programs cranked back up I’d be all for it. We’ve got some non gmo beans but not the whole farm because we have to haul them 140 miles one way. We grow conventional corn because you can control weeds just fine if you pay attention. But we sell it just like any other corn because there isn’t a good non-gmo market around us. This stuff isn’t earth shattering. In fact we might all get paid more if the US can promote mass non gmo crops for export. We will see. And on the bright side, the BTO neighbor that runs atrazine and roundup as a half ass attempt at one pass weed control is used to harvesting fields that are a mess so nothing changes for those guys except switching glyphosate for any number of other chemicals. And the world keeps on spinning.
Carbon fees or whatever will just increase the use of cover crops, they’re overvalued in current carbon scoring programs but they give you net zero or better carbon indexes so it’s all good. Change isn’t necessarily bad or good, it’s just change.
And on the flip side maybe nothing changes and people are worried about nothing. Way too early to sell the farm and swear off growing corn | |
