We live in a GLOBAL Economy.

Chinese health ministry says GenMod Corn presents a health risk.
China is refusing to buy OUR Genetically Modified Corn (think Monsanto) .

From Oct 01 2013 to Oct 01 2014
145 Million long tons of US Corn that would have gone to China has
no place to go. ( a long ton is 2240 pounds, a Bushel is 56 pounds )

The IRS in USA now has special provisions for Corn Growers.

Our Export of Corn is DOWN 85% since Oct 2013.

Brazil banned GenMod corn from entering their seed corn stream.
China now buys Corn from Brazil. (and other non-GMO countries)

Even Zambia refuses to buy our GenMod Corn.
