none locally are resistant as far as I know.

Locally to wales, that's because RR crops haven't been grown in Wales commercially yet.
Didn't you know that?

But these crops have become resistant to the previously used pesticides that's why they need roundup ready crops. Are you ignoring the reason why RR crops were brought onto the market?

Higher and higher doses to do the same job? Sounds like resistance to me!

I am absolutely disputing the reason RR crops were brought to the market. Yes.

I end up with GM plants on my farm. I lose my organic certification and the value of my output drops. Polluters pay.

Why are my crops any filthier than yours? Do tell me how dock seeds spread in the air, that is definitely a new one to me!
I have no ragwort, it's all pulled.
Thistles are dug or topped.

Organic certification is a load of rubbish anyway and you know it.

Well it weren't to feed the world that's for sure!

Not only are you fluent in bulls**t your also a mind reader!

So what are you afraid of, seeing as you have no intension of using it?

If you don't, then you must be blind as a bat. Most of the regulations are political and marketing rubbish rather than anything remotely based on science.

Because I don't want it to pollute my land.

Really?

So what does eating a concoction of 3,4,8,20 different pesticides do to a body?
Even at "permitted " residue levels? Sure they are tested to be "safe". But never tested as a mix.

Data from Newcastle university showed that organic food has between 19 and 69% higher antioxidants.
So the science is there if you remove your blinkers.

A lot of very dodgy science and politics around GM and how it came about. Altered genes, twisted truths by Steven druker is interesting on this.
