While travelling in corn country last week,
Kansas and Missouri, I noticed a lot of
corn fields with billboards advertising the
fact that they were growing genetically engineered
crops in those fields. Some had more details
on exactly what kinds of GE they were. The
farmers are really sold on this technology,
even if the consumers opinion is still
undecided.
