Marshall says he sees only one real problem with GMO crops. Anything that's easy and works tends to be widely adopted, and that leads to too much of it. While 30 percent of the corn planted in the United States last year and 60 percent of the beans contained extra genes, a lot of farmers grew the old standbys. Marshall offered a few words of advice to producers who hope to sell such crops this season to specialty non-GMO markets. For one thing, they should be looking for buyers now.
Some buyers also have special handling requirements and restricted delivery dates.
It's just a lot of extra hassle.
