Nature, perhaps, will have the last laugh - but it will take years, maybe decades to heal the soil...
excerpt:
“Typically, corn farmers have had to rotate corn crops to minimize pest pressures. But with Bt corn, many simply planted “corn on corn,” year after year.”
In their haste to control the worlds food supply (Dictators Creed: He who controls the food, controls the people.) they forget what the Irish learned the hard way.
They grew one potato crop and without rotation. The crops were overtaken with disease and brought on the Great Famine.
I grew up on my grandparents farm in the ‘40’s. Grampa always rotated crops - changing his garden spot and planting clover in the old one to replenish the ground with nutrients.
The neighbors grew potatoes for a living - always rotated -
The simplest of farmers know this.
Heal the soil from Bacillus thurengensis? It's the same bacteria I sprinkle on tomatoes to kill tomato horn worms. The bacteria grows in their stomachs when they ingest it, and finito horn worms.
Apparently the BT toxin in the GMO corn is no longer effective. They have attempted soaking the seed corn in a neo-nicotinoid pesticide only to find that is causing colony collapse disease in honeybees. The weeds are becoming insensitive to Roundup too. Nature has adapted. The Monsanto approach has been overcome.
A lot of farmers haven’t rotated crops for 50 years, that’s right 50. Long before Monsanto. We were one of them.
You are just spouting a bunch of ignorant nonsense.
Stop it.
Do you think that "Food Inc" presents a balanced and objective view of the food industry? If so, then you must be a really big fan of films made by Michael Moore.
The anti-technology nonsense you spout here is absolutely mind-boggling.
