What net environmental benefit is there to celebrate if farmers
are not allowed to grow Roundup Ready sugarbeets in 2011?

In 2010, Roundup Ready sugar beets accounted for 95 percent

says alternative technologies require more applications of
pesticides:

"Sugarbeet growers have confirmed Genuity Roundup
Ready sugarbeets reduce impacts on the environment
and make them more efficient and productive. Alternative
technologies require more applications of pesticides,
with greater impacts on the environment and lower
productivity on farms."
