So much of commercial plantings are all GMOs that I'm developing an

figuring that one out.)

I'm betting if you really investigated , it's not the corn itself but the
glyphosate they apply to it . "They" say it has no effect , but my wife
developed a severe sensitivity to corn products around the same time they
started using Roundup heavily in RR crops and I've seen studies that bear
this out . And it's in EVERYTHING as you say . Corn syrup , so many people
started avoiding HFCS that now they're labeling it as "fructose" or other
misleading label . Don't be fooled , it's still there . And it's a major
reason I grow as much of our food as I can .
This year we're growing 5 varieties of tomatoes , 4 peppers , cukes and
zukes and summer squash , pole beans and garlic and onions and , and ...
even some okra . Taters and corn weren't worth the effort for what I got ,
and grains are a bit out of my reach - for now . I'd love to find a source
for non-GMO hard red wheat , I've been told the GMO stuff is no longer as
nutritious as what we had in the past .
OK , off my soapbox ...



Ambitious!
