Total crap story.
Mexico is considering banning GMO corn imports (I don’t blame them - much of the world doesn’t want it).
A few US farmers (I am sure who are in the back pocked of Monsanto) are complaining that they don’t even know how to grow “conventional corn”. Which is a bald-face lie. It is not significantly different than their GMO crap - just has lower yields and you can’t hyper-saturate it with herbicides like the GMO stuff. It plants the same, grows the same, and harvests the same.
Good post. The conventional corn uses chemicals, too, just different ones.
The biggest problem with conventional crops is that they have to be kept separate from GMOs. If you ever see a big elevator operating, there are trucks coming and going and gigantic bins where it all gets intermingled. Emptying the system for a day of conventional-only would be an ungodly task. And the separation would have to be all the way to the shipping containers or trains. Nightmare in the makimg.
