Look at our forefathers and their long length of life! Many lived to a ripe old age but this was the key;<br />1. Food was grazed of caught in a river free of pollutants <br />2. Air quality was never an issue<br />3. Stress and related where less<br />4. Everything was fresh other than winter and usually they canned most of these materials or foods where in a fruit cellar!<br />Life has changed and we are lead to believe for the better?

Over 90% of the corn, soybeans, cotton and something else, is it canola that is GMO?<br /><br />I am surprised this record strong dollar has not hurt more than it has but maybe that is still coming. Cost of production and 2015 weather will have a big impact and some of not till next year.<br /><br />Yes I agree that when that infrastructure is in even more land will be cleared down there and America will become an even weaker competitor but their politics and economy is still very vulnerable.<br /><br />EdEd Winklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299533401041542458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-39254476989585249162015-03-13T05:19:30.100-04:002015-03-13T05:19:30.100-04:00I am sure that the weather accounts for much more ...I am sure that the weather accounts for much more variations than any political debates, but count on the industry to keep prices as low as possible, especially for corn, which needs to be cheap for animal feed but mostly to produce many industrial substances, not just ethanol and HFCS.<br /><br />I just read that while Argentina's soybeans are 99% GMOs, they don't pay a premium for seeds, as the local legislation authorizes them to plant their own harvested GMO seeds. As you mentioned earlier, they struggle to transport the crop to harbors, but once they have the infrastructure in place, I wonder if they could be big competitors not just for American exports to Asia, but maybe also for the American internal market.Chimelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601975288198239103noreply@blogger.com
