How can you ever remotely express this when round up is so much safer then the alternatives, thus the popularity. But you already know that or you would of provided an alternative when I asked you earlier.

BOBO, I don't drink cokes, eat many chips and only eat grass fed beef, and very little processed foods. Most of the corn produced today is used for ethanol or high fructose corn syrup anyway, not for human consumption.

You obviously have some comprehensive problems. He lost his entire crop.

He purposely tried to defraud, and pass it off as his own.

I don't know what kind of morals you have but that wrong on so many levels. Do you even understand what he ACTUALLY did? He tried to basically steal a GMO patent for his own use.

Like I said earlier I actually farm, and no farmer I know would do that. You apparently aren't a farm nor do you have any morals.

On a small scale around the house use vinegar 100 proof in a spray bottle with a teaspoon of orange oil and a dash of liquid soap as a surfactant. On a larger scale, dry molasses at a rate of 20lbs per 1000 sq ft. Both work well and don't cause problems.

Ok. Like I said we use to own a grain elevator... I actually know how buys corn. Might want to check out the ingredients on every thing you eat, I assure you it's not sweet corn.

Lol.... Ya that will work great on my farm. I can't handle your nutty mind set any more. Think about how much molasses you would need for the U.S. ag market... That's an ecological disaster waiting to happen.

Hey, I just got a brainstorm. Plant sorghum and you could have a steady supply of molasses. Kind of a perpetual growing machine. Man and nature working as one. A symbiotic relationship. Just think, butterflies, puppies, everybody loves puppies. What say ye?

And we all know that farm land is becoming less and less available.

As people move and cities grow the farm land is getting lost. Couple that with an increasing population and we have issues. Issues that need and require the use of technology in agriculture to solve. Of course even something as simple as that some people don't understand.

I did work for Monsanto for about a year before I went back to Texas A&M agrilife research to help run a soil chemistry and fertility research program and get my masters. Before that I worked in a cotton cytogentics program. Pair that with a soil and environmental plant science degree and I would say I have a decent background and experience level with this subject. I've actually dealt with the products and research on them. Much better than saying what I've seen on the Internet and passing it off as fact.

There's no feasible method to feed the world without GMOs and herbicide useage? If you're against roundup then you need to be against every other herbicide.

And molasses? Go tell a farmer they Ned to put out 900 lbs of molasses an acre and see how they react lol.

I just watched a show on Netflix called Food Inc.

Talked about Monsanto seed patents etc.

It was very interesting and showed many examples of small farmers being put out of business by not following the "big" food company rules of how to raise their crop/livestock. Chicken, eggs, cows, grain etc. it also shows how large company's are changing the genetics of the animals we eat to be more profitable. Most of the changes are disgusting, especially chickens.

My wife will only eat meat that comes from the grocery store. After watching that movie, her perspective has changed and now is "trying" to eat wild game, local veggies, and beef from our friends ranches.

Shop more at farmers markets and stay away from commercialized chicken.

Found this article interesting:

http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2015/03/science-doubters/achenbach-text

Deals with why reasonable people doubt science. One of the areas (among many) mentioned was GMOs. Doesn't go into much detail about any specific areas but looks more at how in today's world people are much more likely to doubt the scientific consensus.

That documentary as well as Seeds of Death and King Corn are very eye opening. I understand that there might be some propaganda sprinkled in, but one thing that has been tested over and over is the nutritional value of the GMO crops and they do not have as much nutrients as organic. I eat all organic for the health benefits and try to obtain as much organic meat as possible through hunting. Time will tell if the chemicals are truley harmful, but like I said before, I am not ok with being a guinea pig.
