Scientists Urge Seed Companies to Stop Certain Genetic Modifications
Mar 12th, 2012 | By Off The Grid EditorTwenty-two of the top scientists on corn pests have drafted a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency, outlining the dire results of research which indicates that corn rootworms have developed a resistance to the genetic modifications made to hybrid corn which was originally engineered to kill them. Farmers in certain parts of the country are being asked to quit planting this hybrid corn altogether, because the gene is quickly becoming useless and insect resistance is building. As expected, Big Ag seed companies have stated that their corn does not contribute to rootworm resistance since only
