Subject: RE: Non GMO corn beside RR corn


Yes. Best procedure is to try and isolate the Non GMO corn as best as possible as GM corn pollen can travel from neighboring fields. If possible, talk to your neighboring farmers and find out what crop they intend to plant. Ideally, plant your Non GMO corn in a field where a neighbor will be planting soybeans. In addition to these quality control procedures, harvest and market the outside rows as GMO corn. These should have the most cross pollination contamination of all the rows. In today's market it is impossible guarantee 100% Non GMO corn, so certain tolerances are allowed. If you have a specifc buyer check with them what that tolerance may be. Two common levels for example are Max 1.0% and Max 3.0% contamination.
