A great reason NOT to permit seed monopolies to exist in the market place ...
Pretty costly mistake.
I don’t have major issues with GM foods but sometimes because you can isn’t a good enough reason.
They better leave the job to the bees! You can’t fool Mother Nature!
Seedless corn? Isn’t that cornless corn? Sounds more like a pollination problem.
They just have to market it as “new diet corn”!
Monsanto is the devil.
Monsanto gave a failed corny response.
Shame when plants refuse to fornicate in the lab.
I've worked on a project trying to raise corn in Africa. Note that only 280 out of 1,000 had a problem. don't jump to conclusions because THIS ARTICLE HAS AN AGENDA!
There are a lot of management problems raising corn there. Fertility is a PROBLEM! Half of our US donated supplies of seed, fert and chem, disappeared to the high govt officials and the local farms crops were bad. To get the tillage and planting done on our project we had to hire the equivalent of the state department of transpiration - didn't work.
The odds of raising a good crop there are slim and none. Based on the above numbers, I would say it was a success.
“The seedless cobs show no sign of disease or any kind of fungus. They just have very few seeds, often none at all.”
RUH ROH!
;-)
Isn’t it great that this is what they want to do to us here in America too?
Okay,,, a couple of comments:
1) Monsanto also sells seed that doesn’t carry the ‘Terminator’ Gene,, and I didn’t read anything that indicated this seed carried that gene.
2) Corn seed is not treated with fertilizer before it is planted. Fertilizer is applied to the SOIL prior to planting the seed.
3) Corn is polinated, with the assistance of BREEZE, not Bees, when the pollen from the tassle settles onto the silks which emerge from the ear.
4) High temps at the time of polination is not a desirable situation, as the high heat interfers with polination.
I am not an agronomist. But my youngest son is. He and his father are both CCA’s (Certified Crop Advisors). I’ve been farming for 45 years, and know just a little bit about how things work in a cornfield.
There is definitely MORE TO THIS STORY than what is being reported in this article.
Ignorant whacknut with a very clear and obvious agenda.
Central Planning.
Bah. Marian Mayet is an ignorant savage hugga bugga-merchant. Monsanto said they will make good f'r chrissakes. What do these witch doctors want anyway? Six year old virgins to cure AIDS with?
Ruh-roh!
(w.r.t. upcoming Congressional restrictions on "non-govt. approved" farming in the US).
Cheers!
