NE Indiana | I don't understand the outrage. Maybe I don't understand the bill, but as I read it, here's what it does:
- Some company gets a GMO seed approved. The company still has to go through all the testings and approvals that they have always had to do.
- Growers start using the seed
- Someone challenges the testings and approvals the GMO seed went through and a judge agrees with them and orders the seed withdrawn from the market
- Under this new provision the USDA can say, "wait a minute" and take up to 6 months to review the court's decision before taking any action
- During that review period growers can continue to use the GMO seed under question.
Seems reasonable enough to me.
