Wednesday Nite @ The Lab

You either “love ‘em or hate ‘em.” GMOs, that is. The impact of transgenic crops has been as revolutionary as hybrid corn was in the 1930s when within 5 years over 90% of Midwest farmers adopted hybrid corn. Transgenic corn has been quickly adopted by farmers as well, but the consumer side of agriculture has not. A “Grand Experiment” has been going on since 1996. We will explore the ups and downs of the first twenty years of transgenic crops in our Midwest cropping systems.
