it's not ironic at all, i stated way back in the early days of this brobdingnangian monstrosity that GM crops have not fulfilled their promise generally, except for the BT cotton, which has kicked the boll wevil in the nuts and saved many indian smallholders and family farms from ruin, and a few drought and virus resistant varieties of grains which deliver decent yields in places where ordinary cultivars just wither and die.The irony of information showing Monsanto/GE projects failing... on page 187.. not so coincidental?
on a commercial scale GM crops have mainly been a benefit to the producers of GM seeds, not the people who believed the hype and bought them.
unfortunately for DNAprotection and his minions, they are not agruing that GMO's are a bad investment for farmers,, they have been arguing the ridiculous, nay RIDONKULOUS propositions that GMO's are toxic, dangerous, carcinogenic, mysteriously powerful and able to kill bees when the crop in question has no attraction for or relationship with bees, or that GMO's are a super secret plot to destroy home growers of dope and garden vegetables.
i could prove that GMO's are a bad investment for most farmers with simple math, but thye didnt want to talk about that, they wanted to predict doomsday scenarios and make crazy claims.
heres the real farming fact, unless your tilling half a million acres with top of the line mechanized farming equipment, and planning to grow government subsidized commodity crops,, GMO's dont deliver yields that exceed their costs. an extra 2 bushels an acre from a GMO doesnt beat the costs of the seedstock unless your banging out hundreds of thousands of bushels with super low expenses for tillage, irrigation and harvest, basically what the media calls "Factory Farms". GMO's only work in economies of scale.
all the other claims about destroying the native genetic diversity (domestic crops have no native analogs to contaminate with their dirty genes) being toxic (USDA Choice Bullshit) causing cancer (Grade AAA Premium Bullshit) or that they require pesticides or special fertilizers to grow (Dude... Really?) are 100% garbage.
this is a forum full of dope growers, i cant believe how many people fell for this crap based on the title and the scary bullshit about "GMO Dope" but when you start claiming that GMO's require special nutrients and pesticides,, these potheads should have shown those clowns the door.
In reality, if i offered seeds for cannabis that were guaranteed 100% female, every fucking time, were highly resistant to powdery mildew, immune to spider mites, or got you 30% higher when you smoked it, i wouldnt be able to keep the stoners off my shit.
EVEN IF IT WAS GMO'ed LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER
