This uncertainty is driving many farmers away from planting GMOs for next spring.
Current uncertainty creates a valid and serious economic concern.
Over the past three years, European and Asian consumers have resisted the importation of crops containing GMOs. This resistance has now come to the shores of the U.S. in a wave of confusion, questions and doubt. The results are the continued loss of export markets for American farmers and legislation leading to the labeling of GMO food products. These actions are forcing farmers to find ways to protect themselves immediately. Therefore the ACGA recommends that farmers currently harvesting GMO crops should utilize the commodity loan programs.
