consider what monsanto has cost humanity by putting the DNA of a safe, natural biologic pesticcide, produced by a natural enemy of certain pests and evolving naturally to stay ahead of pests inside ALL its corn seed. It could have been used forever by organiic farmers but, instead, its been made useless in a few years. sickening. slash and burn corporate crime

When it was introduced in 2003, so-called Bt corn seemed like the answer to farmers' dreams: It would allow growers to bring in bountiful harvests using fewer chemicals because the corn naturally produces a toxin that poisons western corn rootworms. The hybrid was such a swift success that it and similar varieties now account for 65 percent of all U.S. corn acres — grain that ends up in thousands of everyday foods such as cereal, sweeteners and cooking oil.
But over the last few summers, rootworms have feasted on the roots of Bt corn in parts of four Midwestern states, suggesting that some of the insects are becoming resistant to the crop's pest-fighting powers.
Scientists say the problem could be partly the result of farmers who've planted Bt corn year after year in the same fields.
