I challenge any farmer on here to do what they consider a fair test on any GMO vs any non GMO.  Set it up however you want but be fair.  How many times have we read here the refuge outyielded the traited corn?  



Ed, I am planning to plant such a trial this year. I am doing side by side strips of GH 8969-3111, GH 8969-3000Gt, 8969-Gt (refuge), GH 9138-3000Gt, GH 9138Gt (refuge), GH P-33D47(refuge), P-33D49, and P1498HR. I am also including a non-GMO hybrid recommended by my local small seed company as "the best yielding corn they have for this area." These will be field length, combine width strips measured with a weigh wagon at the end of the field. There will be no glyphosate sprayed, all numbers will receive the same treatments.
Do you consider this fair? Previous years data indicate the 1498HR, 8969-3111, and 9138-3000Gt will be the top numbers. 33D49 is an older number, but is the only Pioneer number I could get non-bt isolines. It still does well around here.
