Mules don't happen in nature? Roman writings and a few earlier Persian, note cross between wild/free ranging nomad horse and wild donkey. Roman circus had a few Lybian wild striped mules- cross between north Africa Onagers/wild donkey and zebra of central Africa overlapping range. Asian/Anatolian(Turkey) Lion and east Asia tiger possible cross old time of Persian Empire- script parchment, old greek recopies and reference to the maned tiger offspring in royal zoo. Non GMO corn has a market, sometimes profitable market in some EU/European countries where Non GMO goes into human consumption foods and the GMO is animal fodder at 1/2 price or so. Starlink contaminated corn case is example of what can happen- corn sold for taco shell/human consumption found to have the starlink GMO and food maker sued supplier that re-sued corn supplier that was supposed to keep GMO separate from non GMO to be used for human consumption food in markets where Starlink was not allowed for human consumption. Lawyer got lot of money, elevator/grainery that had mixed had to pay very much higher insurance premium. A market for human consumption in a politically Green dominate area will pay higher for non GMO, a USA internal market for corn for animal feed or ethanol doesn't care one way or other- but price difference for other market may be the break even plus profit price for grower. Soybean prices may vary- $7.00 to $10.00/bushel for oil seeds-- what would you think of buyer willing to pay double+ that price for Chinese Black soybeans semi organic grown?- that is one of most common 'human consumption' soybeans to make Tofu, extend Vegetable Protein, and just plain boiled and spiced beans for human consumption- that is profitable sub market for the 'Organic' edible soybeans. Yield rate of that bean is about 60 to 75% of round up ready oil seed, some minor equipment needs (manure spreaders, cultivators) different than most now common varietys but profit occurs for some Amish, Mennonites. GMO may have advantages but profit for market is a concern and the Non GMO market can be profitable for some growers. Profit is main driver for many enterprises and political and legal restrictions may drop profit margin below cost of growing. RN.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
