YOur getting into a food grade corn there. Mostly white corn. We grow a good bit of that around here in the SW part of Indiana where I live. Used for tortilla chips corn flakes and so on. The yellow corn you see mostly in the fields is usede as animal feed and ethanol prodution. The do use it for very few other thing. Any corn used for human consumption has strict regulations on it from FDA. A lot of guys wont plant white corn because of how picky they are and you cannot dry and store it like regular yellow corn and more picky about damage to the corn being food grade. As far as GMO well its just the newest hype just like today bein the end of the world. They have had GMO corn hybrids for years. Probably since the production of corn scientist have been "modifying" the corn plants to make them better. Its really only been since this whole organic crazy anybody took note but were uniformed about what gmo really is or means. GMO stands for geneticly modified organism. Which relates basically to the fact that there making traits for a better healthier more productive less drought stressed plant. EVERY corn plant has been a gmo at some point unless it came from the real early days. Look back threw ag history and see how corn has gotten better. It wasnt majic. It was scientist researching and modifying the plant to make it better. I would love to see where the people bad mouthing the famers are getting there organic non gmo corn seeds from because Ill bet at some point in that seeds history it was gmo.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
