Default RR Wheat - but who wants it? (was GM German Wheat Trials...)

"An environmental assessment of Roundup Ready(R) Wheat:
Risks for direct seeding systems in Western Canada.
by RC Van Acker,AL Brúle-Babel and LF Friesen

The report concludes:
"The unconfined release of Roundup Ready wheat will negatively
affect the environment and limit farmer's ability to conserve
natural ressources on farms in western Canada. The effect of this
novel product will have is unique because of the nature of the
trait involved and its relationsship to the way in which crops
are farmed in western Canada. Under current conditions the release
of Roundup Ready wheat in western Canada would be environmentally
unsafe."
