I seriously don't think this is anything for you to worry about. But please let us know if you find a random soybean plant in one of your garden beds! As I said, I have never seen a stray soybean in my yard or gardens - and I have ACRES of them all around me, in different spots every year as Farmer Dan does a great job of contour planting and crop rotation. I also know he's not using 'heirloom' seed for any of it - those crops are going straight to his dairy cows; they're hungry and he needs the best production he can get. I'm sure the corn, wheat, soybean and alfalfa he grows are GMO for production and disease resistance. I am here all the time during the growing season. I see maybe ONE sprayer used each season and that is on the wheat, which is the smallest crop he grows.
Pollard - Yes, the chemicals used in food production are a huge problem. No doubt about that. But - there are a LOT of humans and animals to feed around the globe - not sure we can ever go back to the way food was produced for the masses, even a short 50 years ago. Unless, of course, we could convince everyone to garden like we were at war. And even then, where are we in a cr@ppy growing season like the one some of us are having? I guess I'll always have kale to eat, LOL! Kale never fails; wet, cold, hot, dry.
