The introductions of GMO’s are good for making strong crops, and making canola more resilient to harsh conditions. Cross pollination is becoming a major problem. Many crops around GMO’s are finding the engineered seed present tin there natural crops, causing the GMO producers to file lawsuits and cops/lots of perfectly good produce are being destroyed. Farmers are being forced to conform to purchasing GMO’s, or stop growing non-GMO crops to avoid problems.
The GMO’s also make it difficult for crop rotation between broadleaf and cereal based. Spring burn off is requiring stronger, more residual chemicals to be used to accomplish the desired result. The stronger chemical may be present for many years after, potentially decreasing the productivity of the land and the value of crops that grow in succession. GMO’s may be more of a curse in the weeds.
Cross pollination is a major problem for both clearing fields and growing non-GMO’s, without migrational volunteer effects.
The continued development of GMO’s is requiring chemical companies to develop stronger herbicides. Crop insurance on the other hand, does not cover burning or malfunctioning GMO’s that are effected by chemicals that they are support to resist. Putting farmers in the situation of losing profits, both from buying the more expensive seeds, and have less to harvest.
Companies that are developing these GMO’s are not willing to stand behind their product, giving no backing or assurance to the consumer, that the product will event work.
Worst part is how the seeds are affecting the industries domestic and international. Domestically communities are being split apart from famers moving or selling the farm, or even worst are friends telling on other friends if they are growing illegally. Internationally, consumers want nothing to do with the product, making the value of growing it drop dramatically.
The GMO’s are a self reproducing product that will be able to outlast the current trends and maybe even the parent companies responsible for it, so who become responsible in the end for this idea, that has altered nature.
