The yield for soybeans has gone down however, according to Bill Freese at the Centre for Food Safety
No agenda there is there? Put on your thinking cap. Yield down? From when? compared to 1950, 1960, 2008?
The food system we have is not perfect, far from it but it is the best there is.
I have friend just like you, they never believe anything unless it comes from their source, I don't care what you believe, the studies have been done.
CLAY CENTER, Neb. — Soybean plants genetically modified to resist a popular non-selective herbicide yield less than conventional soybeans, University of Nebraska research shows.
Two years of NU Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources research showed Roundup Ready soybeans yield 6 percent less than their closest relatives and 11 percent less than high-yielding conventional soybeans. This averages to three fewer bushel per acre, or 480 fewer bushels on a 160-acre field.
NU Agronomist Roger Elmore, who headed this study, said the research was initiated after producers began asking yield-related questions about Roundup Ready soybeans in 1997, about the same time early test results from Nebraska and other state universities were released. The questions and early results hinted Roundup Ready soybeans yielded less than conventional beans.

So how long you worked for Monstanto anyway? If not do your work for one of the agra companies with an interest in discounting serious studies that state that I am right and you are wrong?
