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.
