Well would not the Organic person have this problem with ANY non organic
"crop nearby?

We had to be careful where to plant sweet corn versus "cow" corn or you
would end up with no sweet corn.

The problem is that very few people understand how to make SEEDS

You have to be very careful of ANYONE near you or the corn or whatever your
are trying to grow will not produce true seeds, it can be very difficult.

Now stockguy - read that link - it is pretty clear that animals do not
absorb the DNA of modified plants -

It is ironic that you would be PRO dumping chemicals into the environment,
that here is a solution that allows farmers grow crops with less chemicals.

Organic is nice, but it can in no way feed the people of even the US let
alone the world.

Why would the legislature approve a law to take control of the decision
away from local voters in a county? Only possible reason would be to
protect the interest of multinational agribusiness companies what have
produced many kinds of defective even dangerous genetically messed up
plants. For example, corn plants with insect pathogens in their genes.
I want no part of such corn and would not want the plants near an
organic field, since the seed crop for the following year could be
damaged.
