Subject: Re: Lack of corn diversity and GMO pushed on the farmer.



Bovina, TX
Test plots for this area show the non GMO's to yield less in this area. Until you realize that the test plots were not treated for pests. On my farm trials the non GMO's have only been beat once since I have been growing them side by side, when treated for corn borer. And that was only on a super late planted plot that was devastated by corn ear worm.

I do grow some GMO crops but try and use it only where needed for specific problems. I just feel forced to use what they produce instead of having a choice of what I want.

The other frustration I have is that by the time we figure out what works well on our farm out of the new varieties. They kill the variety.
