[quote="CVPost-paul"](quoted from post at 09:14:41 05/14/19) I appreciate we can have different opinions. I often find your comments very puzzling, but it?s all good. It gives an opportunity to continue educating.
Supplying good food is what it?s all about, and that?s what I do. Most of my grains go to feed livestock or to exports, but a small percent likely finds its way into non-animal foods.
Can?t help what General Mills or Heinz-Kraft or the rest do to the raw ingredients I supply them. But that is where 90% of the issues are. And I do t even blame those companies, they were producing what people wanted. Cheap, fatty, salty, sugary. The basic food drugs.......
People finally got tired of the poor quality foods but didn?t know where to turn, good of them to at least see the issues. Don?t blame them a bit for wanting a change.
Now to get them educated to turn in the right directions, and ignore the chattering internet bullies.
We are getting there. It doesn?t happen over night.

See Paul, that's where the problem comes in. Yes people wanted cheap food. But they didn't control that at all. And with the subsidies the government jumped on anything that reduced the cost to the government. Like for example surgery foods that used corn syrup as a sweetener. So the food industry not only produced that garbage, with the help of the USDA and Department of Health convinced the buying public that all that crap was healthy. The side benefit of being cheaper? That sold many consumers all was good. After all we can trust the government watchdogs to ensure nothing bad is going to happen. And a very few people tried warning everyone. But they got no air time and Al hadn't invented the internet yet. Then in the 90's the internet came into wide spread usage. Now it was in everyone's face. All of a sudden they went from wanting safe cheap food to wanting safe food and are willing to pay that difference. The consumer lost confidence in the farmer, the AG companies, food producers and the government.
OK I may think that GMO free is good or bad. Doesn't make much of a difference. Now 2 or my daughter in laws are real picky about this stuff. Each is raising 3 of my grand kids. What are they learning? So opposed to my purchasing habits you have those 2 and 6 young children who are going to think the same thing. Drives my sister and BIL nuts too. Their youngest moved back home. He's really gotten into the whole gmo/cage free/grass fed/free range/whatever else there is thing. So he buys his own food and cooks his own meals.
You keep saying they need to educate themselves. That on your part is placing 100% trust in a for profit company. There isn't a company out there I trust 100%. Maybe you need to educate yourself as to the track records across the board of for profit companies.
No one as of yet has been able to provide me with peer reviewed studies produced by anyone with absolutely no ties with Monsanto/Bayer money. Those multiple peer reviews also has to be completely free of that money. And that goes both way. If you became obscenely wealthy tomorrow, let it be known that you didn't like GMO's then started giving the UofM several million a year I bet shortly they would release a study that nukes GMO's. I'd want to see those studies done by an independent source with not ties to any money of activist group.

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
