In just ran across this you-tube video from MIGardener on GMO plants he found in his land.
This Plant is a BIG PROBLEM! (Extreme Action Required)

I don’t know WHAT this guy is ranting about.
I have ACRES of soybean around me as well as feed corn, wheat and alfalfa for hay. I have NEVER had a soybean just ‘pop up’ in my lawn or a garden bed...though I do have a few spots of alfalfa in the lawn - which the mule or a currently grazing steer appreciates!
And - Soybeans ARE NOT PERENNIALS. They are a legume. He said he’s going to plow that field under anyway for fruit trees and other crops and it will be GONE, never to return!
Alarmist, Much? And for what reason? Oh, I know! SCARY GMOs! Extra hits to his You-Tube Channel! *SMIRK*
Every vegetable or flower that ANY of us grow in our gardens, ‘Heirloom’ or not, ARE GMOs! It’s just that Mother Nature ‘genetically modified’ her plants to keep them thriving, so they call them, ‘Heirlooms’ And they can sell more seed packets!
18 years in ‘The Seed Biz.’ Ask me how it works. We’re selling the SIZZLE, Baby! NOT the STEAK! ;)
You can relax. You’re not going to be overrun by invasive soybeans...well, at least until Bill Gates gets a hold of them! :)
