First I do not like that Monsanto gets all those tech fees from all other seed sales besides the ones from there own seed.
As far as GMO grains here is my take.
Putting genes in a plant to resist pests or chemicals is no different than if it happen naturally.
There are certain plants that certain bugs will not eat that are not genetically modified. So if you take that gene out of those plants that resist bugs and put it in another, it is somewhat still natural.
Same holds true with herbicide resistance. There are genes in grasses that allow herbicides to be use to kill broadleaf weeds in grass and not harm the grass. Same holds true for grass killers that don"t kill broadleaf weeds.
So if we switch some genes around that allow you to kill grasses in grass without killing the grass that is genetically modified what"s the harm. That gene is already in some plants.
By the way some of the countries that would not import GMO grains have now started to accept them in just the past week.
There has been no proof that GMOs are hurting humans or the environment that I have heard of.

It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
