I think you better wait for next planting time. If Indian farmers think

that
GM cotton is rubbish, they will not plant it. If, on the other hand,

they
reckon it did pretty well and and the problems are purely hyped up by a

lot
of antis, then they will plant it.

Once the farmer is broke is it easy to go back and plant again?


these people have regular droughts. They have regular crop failures, they go
back and plant again. I don't think you have the faintest idea what the
average peasant farmer has to go through
