More on the safety of GMO crops:
In 2001, farmers in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska
were surveyed to analyze the differences between adopters and nonadopters
in farm and farmer characteristics (Wilson et al., 2005). The
responding farmers indicated that a reduction in exposure to chemical
insecticide (69.9 percent of the farmers), a personal health concern, and
a reduction in insecticides in the environment (68.5 percent), a personal
value, were the primary benefits of transgenic corn.
