this is to protect crops from GMO crops containing pharmaceuticals. The
USDA is setting up regulation to allow GMO pollen to drift into other crops,
by allowing pharmaceutical crops to be planted in open fields.

It's already happened many times that a farm that had organic crops, was
contaminated and fertilized with GMO pollen carried by winds. This will
make the once organic crop become a pharmaceutical crop.

THANKS!!!

Appreciate your posting the link.

Europeans won't tolerate the corporate-rigged GMO contamination that
people in the U.S. seem content to live with.

We need to stand up and make a LOT of noise to our so-called
representatives to pressure the USDA, which like all Bush
agencies, is frankly a tool of (bad) big business, as distinguished
from (good) big business.

GMO's have been reflected in scientific journals to have caused human
deaths, allergies, changes in nutrition.
World new has reflected GMO crops contaminating non-GMO fields (which then
become owned by the corporate seed company since they have a patent on the
GMO plant).
The Starlink incident, and finding GMO pharm. crops in a field of soy, show
the inadequicies of the current system to protect crops from being
contaminated with GMOs.
