The non-GMO corn market around here.

Some gm though is simply shutting off a gene, like with the arctic apple. No genes were added, the browning gene was shut off.

Yes so true many things that are GMO have not had any foreign material added, so much misinformation goes on in the anti gmo groups it is so sad.

Just because it's not GMO doesn't mean it's open pollinated.

Hate to say it, but I am pretty sure that unless extreme care is taken, corn is an open pollinated crop, and it is air pollinated to boot. GMO status doesn't have any impact on this at all.

Using GMO's has sure kept lots of pesticides out of the environment. The old, 1960's and 70's era herbicides and insecticides were pretty "hot". You would think this would please environmental types, but guess not. Sure kept lots of Atrazine out of the system. Also old insecticides like Lorsban, and others.

I went to a local green house in the mid 80's and they recommend I use a Bt form of organic insect control for a problem I had. Better for the environment they told me since it was "natural" As the Bt bacteria occurs naturally in the soil. But then when it gets spliced into the genes of a corn plant, then it is evil.

Just can't win.

Gene

Yep. Bt been around since the 20' or 30's in a dust or spray.
DiPel is probly the easiest to find in dust form. Genetic application
was in the 80's by a Belgian company.
