company was testing

Too bad that you're growing apples, not rice, Bob  : )

This is certainly the scary part about GMO's--that once loose, they can self
replicate.  No putting the cat back into the bag!

A few years ago, a firm wanted to test a GMO rice in Calif in orderr to
produce a pharmaceutical.  In order to prevent contamination of the vast
Central Calif rice crop, they created rice paddies in dry Southern Calif,
600 miles away from any other rice.
