    Non-GMO canola

    I was at the local Viterra elevator today and didn't realize there was a premium for Non-GMO canola. Apparently they take it to their crush plant and it's $15/mt over the picked up basis. Basis levels were better than regular canola as well. Didn't know they offered this, has anyone else seen it?

        Isn't the Clearfield resistant to the Odyssey herbicide? Wouldn't that make it a GMO too?

          No foreign genetics are introduced
          therefore it is not transgenic, hence,
          non gmo by coincidental and ridiculous
          definition.

          However, clearfield utilizes
          mutagenesis, scramble up the existing
          genes until you happen to stumble upon
          the right desired characteristic.

          Worldwide, transgenic is gmo,
          mutagenesis is not.

            Mutigenesis is old old technology and really no
            different than traditional breeding. Just makes
            chance happen faster.
