LOL everyone can be lead around by their noses. Why in the heck do you think people will sit and argue for days about which tractor is best? Most have never even operated the tractors the hate the most.
Thing of it is if you have seen chemical companies for over a century have accidents and produce "safe" only to find out that the accidents were preventable and often those safe chemicals that turned out to be not so safe? Well the chemical companies often knew about that too. And now all of a sudden people are supposed to trust the chemical companies? And then the see this guy on the news in a nice farm yard setting leaning on a 500,000 tractor crying about not making any money. And they are supposed to believe them too? This is where it breaks down. Perceptions! If you knew nothing about farming and saw that on TV you'd be inclined to believe the other side too. Last time I saw something on the news about the plight of farmers they interviewed that farmer and his wife. Shots taken around a very nice farm site. A few very nice large buildings. Nice house too. They had one shot of the farmer next to a near new JD combine the next to a near new JD 4X4 tractor. I read the comments, mostly city folks. Most were wondering why a guy with millions in assets was crying. General attitude was "the farmer is not our friend and doesn't care if our food is safe as long as he makes a profit". And that's just how they see it. And the farmer is either going to have to bend to will of the consumer or they are going to have to mount a campaign to change people's minds. People who see a farm as a business and farmers as business owners.
Look at it this way. Several local towns got Wal Marts over the last 25 years. Lot of places claimed that if they let Wal Mart in they they were going to have to close up shop. And most of those businesses are still here. Yea they lowered prices by 10 to 15%. But they are still open and are doing fine. Lot of the locals have figured out that those business were ripping their friends and neighbors off left and right for a lot of years before Wal Mart. Most of these people will never trust those shop owners again. Well they feel the same way about farmers. Heck we've even got farmers against each other.
Bottom line is the consumer is the one with the buying power. They also like to live. They want to be healthy too. Most are willing to spend a little more to eat what they think is better for them. So IF GMO's are safe then the GMO farmers need to get that across to the buying public.

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.
