Straw Poll On GMO Wheat

[boone]

Well fellas this won,t be scientific but I would ask you to log on and give your vote YES/NO for GMO Wheat in Canada. If that isn't to controversial for charliep, melvill, to consider.
I will start out with the first NO and see where everyones intestinal fortitude is today. Take your time Monsanto says they won't even **** the gun till they have our permission. But everyone knows the easiest way to unload a gun.

[rain]

No as well

[melvill]

So, boone, what's this about too much controversy?

We learned how to handle controversy last week on another thread - you know nikes, Tony Lamas, etc. Chuckle!!

[almoy]

NO !! We would lose too many customers !

[boone]

melvill; I will take that as a go on your part and I stand here in my noname grass sandals humbly thanking you.

[countryguy]

They can shove that stuff in places that the sun don't shine..

[parsley]

Our customers refuse to buy GMO wheat, and the customer is ALWAYS right.

Parsley

[parsley]

Yes! Lets reconsider.

[almoy]

kernal, where do you expect to sell your GMO wheat? Even the US wants no part of it so Monsanto is trying to push it in Canada !

[wedino]

No.

The only reason to grow RR wheat is to increase yields. Are we not producing to much wheat already?

[boone]

fellas; let's vote first before we get polarized by other opinions. In answer to your question though, we have been assured ethanol will take all they can get locally for a price.

[TOM4CWB]

NO;

The CWB has taken the right tack on this one...

By the way;

Once Ag Canada has released the RR Wheat from confined production... even if it is unregistered, RR Wheat can still legally be grown on a contract 100% production contract...

Just because a variety is not registered, does not mean it cannot be grown in Canada.

This is why I so strongly believe the CGC/CWB is pushing the varietial declarations... the CDN. gov. is going to push this through...

[boone]

tom4cwb; Thanks tom I know you have done some soul searching here. bne

[henbent]

boone, No. The customers say they won't buy it. GMO Canola is causing us enough problems as it is!!

[Everest]

My votes.....

on GM-RR wheat - No.

on GM-medicinal wheat (that holds a cure for cancer, arthritis, heart disease, aids, or socialism etc.) - Yes.

ESPECIALLY for socialism!
