I have friend just like you, they never believe anything unless it comes from their source, I don't care what you believe, the studies have been done.
CLAY CENTER, Neb. — Soybean plants genetically modified to resist a popular non-selective herbicide yield less than conventional soybeans, University of Nebraska research shows.
Two years of NU Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources research showed Roundup Ready soybeans yield 6 percent less than their closest relatives and 11 percent less than high-yielding conventional soybeans. This averages to three fewer bushel per acre, or 480 fewer bushels on a 160-acre field.
NU Agronomist Roger Elmore, who headed this study, said the research was initiated after producers began asking yield-related questions about Roundup Ready soybeans in 1997, about the same time early test results from Nebraska and other state universities were released. The questions and early results hinted Roundup Ready soybeans yielded less than conventional beans.

So how long you worked for Monstanto anyway? If not do your work for one of the agra companies with an interest in discounting serious studies that state that I am right and you are wrong?
There is much more too it than this study. I have studied on farm records for years. The system is working its way out, called letting the market decide. Many times the goal of management is not yields. Sad to say, most times it is not profit. Usually is it convenience.
Give a farmer in the “poor country” a choice between short handled hoe and one application of chemical, and he will go for the technology. You and I will also.
You began this with a discussion of evil. What is evil?
It is a complicated system, all systems are. There are no magic answers.
So you think I work for Monsanto do you? When you run out of arguments you call someone a name or make an accusation. Very juvenile and very liberal.
