I tend to agree, but I don't like the idea of the government dictating what
varieties we must offer. If I were the head of product planning, I would
offer all the elite material as non-GMO hybrids to give customers the
choice. Keep in mind that often, the non-GMO version IS marketed, but just
not identified as the non-GMO equivalent of the more trendy GMO hybrid.

I think the big companies are beginning to realize this.
