It was bound to happen. There is no way to control the spread of GM seeds through natural means such as animals and wind. I don’t know how in the world companies such as Monsanto, Bayer, Pioneer, and Syngenta could have ever thought that this wouldn’t happen.
If we’ve learned anything in our years here on [...]
I came across this article and thought it would be valid to mention it here on Safe Fertilizer Reviews blog. If you have a moment to read it, I would really encourage you to.
