Lloyd said, "o the best of my knowledge, and I have done a fair amount of
reading on the
subject, these seeds are specifically developed so that the herbicide
resistance will not continue into the 2nd generation."

Unfortunately, this is a proposal that seed companies are considering as a
possible solution; it isn't being used yet.  Instead, farmers have to agree
not to use the second-generation seed.  This is a huge problem in the third
world where farmers are not able to purchase seed every year.

I agree that companies and our government have dived headfirst into a pool
without first checking to see if there's any water in it.  I'm glad to see
Canada and the EU taking a more cautious approach.
