GE CROPS CONTAMINATE LAND FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARShttps://www.organicconsumers.org/images/bytes/ge-crop.jpg
A new study, funded by the biotech industry and the British government, has found that growing genetically engineered (GE) crops contaminates the land for at least 15 years. Scientists examined various test plots of GE oilseed rape and found that even if a farmer were to grow the GE plant for only one season, the plants would continue to grow year after year, contaminating future harvests. The study reveals that nine years after growing the GE rape plants, two plants were found to be growing on every square meter. After 15 years, there was still one GE plant growing per square meter. The British government is using this data to fortify its decision to uphold a ban on growing GE crops. https://www.organicconsumers.org/ge/ruin101105.cfm

Karen,
I never heard of a plant called oilseed rape, and I can't imagine anyone planting any of it in Sonoma County for any reason.
Do you mind explaining?

Hi Bob. I put it in dogpile 4 u and here are the first page of results, below. (www.Dogpile.com (https://www.dogpile.com/)) Although we may not grow this plant here, the point of the study is that once you put that genetic information out there, there is no calling it back. A Pandora's box if ever there was one. I hope you keep studying this issue! Thanks for the question!
