[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 971707, member: 17304"] Where I live is cattle country, rolling hills, you can't find five acres that don't have some slope to it. The grain farmers around here will pay up to 100 dollars more per acre for corn ground than a cattleman will or can for rented pasture. They run all over the county and surrounding counties renting every little patch of dirt they can get a tractor or combine over without it turning over. How can they keep from polluting the underground water sources, with Roundup, nitrates, etc. All the water, creeks, streams eventually go into one of the largest man-made lakes on the country where everyone gets their water piped into their homes. Cancer in this area is rampid..... Whether GMO is good or not, I personally don't want it, and the perception is becoming the same by more and more people. More and more countries are closing their doors to GMO grains. If GMO labeling on food ever becomes a law then the only thing that will sustain it will be the ethanol industry. But I don't think they can use that much corn. IMO if the average consumer had a choice between GMO and non-GMO they would choose the latter. It took thirty years or longer to create the Dust Bowl . What are we in the process of creating now..... [/QUOTE]
