Consumer awareness driving strong demand for non-GMO feed By Ken Roseboro - April 30, 2015 "Growing by leaps and bounds" Many non-GMO feed suppliers report better animal health with non-GMO feed. “I get comments from people who switched from GMO feed to our feed, and they say how healthier their chickens are,” Yantis said. Yantis even sold one customer eight tons of non-GMO corn to feed deer. “No one would have cared about this a few years ago,” he said. The fact that more farmers are interested in growing non-GMO corn and soybeans is helping the supply. “More farmers are refusing to pay for the Monsanto tech fees, and more supply is becoming available,” Frantzen added. “We’ve gotten requests from customers to be Non-GMO Project verified. That’s the next step,” Shutt said. http://www.non-gmoreport.com/articles/ma...h.2BMy8LUz.dpuf

Eight “Ingredients” You Won’t Find Hidden in Organic Food April 27, 2015 / By Robyn O'Brien Taxpayer resources called subsidies are used to support growing crops in a chemically-intensive, genetically and financially engineered kind of way. It drives shareholder return for the companies that have developed these genetically engineered crops and the weedkillers, herbicides and insecticides used to treat them. While on the other hand, farmers that are growing crops organically, which means by law without the use of synthetic pesticides and genetically engineered seeds designed to require increasing doses of toxic weed killer, have to pay fees to prove that their crops are safe, then fees to label those crops with the “USDA Organic” seal and then they don’t receive the same crop insurance and marketing assistance programs that the other farmers do. So what’s a consumer to do? Learn the Big 8. These are the ingredients which, by law and according to the United States Department of Agriculture, are not allowed into the production of foods that are made organically: http://robynobrien.com/eight-ingredients-you-wont-find-hidden-in-organic-food/

Federal Judge in Argentina Accepts Class Action Lawsuit Against Monsanto Will Monsanto be able to bully itself to victory? by Christina Sarich - June 27, 2015 While Monsanto tries to dodge a class action lawsuit in California by requesting that it be dismissed by the court, a federal judge in Argentina has accepted a class action lawsuit that would force GMO labeling and provisionally suspend the cultivation of genetically modified crops. Monsanto is not the only party listed as a defendant. Also listed are: •The Argentine national government •The Federal Council for the Environment •A group of companies, including Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont, Novartis, Nidera, Dow AgroSciences, Pioneer, Agrevo, Ciba Geigy, Argenbio, and Bayer Sciences Monsanto is currently trying to remove their class action suit being filed by T. Matthew Phillips to federal court in order to “prohibit inconsistencies in ruling,” but they also want to have the class action suit dismissed. http://naturalsociety.com/federal-judge-.../#ixzz3eJnL6mgZ

Why are Bill Gates and Monsanto Funding A “Doomsday” Seed Vault? Posted on June 24, 2015 by Jake Anderson The Svalbard Global Seed Vault has been in service for over six years, but the public remains mystified by the project. Buried under the permafrost of Norway, the vault is now home to over 500,000 samples of crop germplasms. Originally conceived in the 1980s as a 100-year experiment to test the durability of seeds in cold environments, the project struggled to find donors—that is, until an eyebrow-raising team of behemoths–including the Bill Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto, and Syngenta–decided to invest. And they invested big: the Bill Gates Foundation alone has poured in $30 million. http://www.dcclothesline.com/2015/06/24/...day-seed-vault/
