[QUOTE="cquick, post: 7778389, member: 35800"] Quite. Slippery slope toward being sold the license to the crop as part of an 'agronomy pack', eventually reducing the farmer to little more than vehicle operator, with the real control in corporate hands. I believe GE/GM is a very powerful tool and am excited by it. I studied the technology extensively and have even made a transgenic organism myself in the lab. But I worry that its potential is being exercised as a grab for control by the seed houses, rather than as a tool for the common good to fix real problems (e.g. roundup ready vs. drought tolerance). I'll be growing non-GM for a while yet. [/QUOTE]
