Boulder County nearing decision on GMO crops........

http://www.dailycamera.com/news/ci_18641636

From what I've heard from a few general Boulder County Ag meetings is that CSU Extension and the Open Space folks are pushing the "coexistence" of organic farming and conventional farming with possible GMO use. Some of the farmers that want to grow GMO crops are basically saying they HAVE to due to economic constraints, and the fact that they should be allowed to use the technology in order to be successful.

I strongly disagree with the view that farmers shouldn't be on the advisory committee. The citizens certainly should have a voice......all of us.....producers...... consumers. Farmers need to help guide those decisions. There are several organic farmers on the Cropland Policy Advisory Group, and they are doing their best. It's WAY bigger than just a citizens rights land use issue. I wouldn't want too many non-farmers on a Croplands Policy Advisory Group. Wouldn't seem right......

Get Up, Stand Up!!
