advertisement The findings showed huge variation in the amount of cross-pollination between GM and non-GM crops of maize, oilseed rape, rice and sugar beet. Field trials could be underestimating the potential for cross-pollination between genetically modified and conventional crops, according to researchers from the University of Exeter. The team used records of wind speed and direction across Europe to predict the movement of pollen in the air. GM and non-GM crops too close, study says....

The Organic Agriculture Association is urging dairy farmers to oppose the lifting of a moratorium on genetically modified canola. The State Government is conducting a review on the moratorium due to be lifted early next year. And she says the invading crops will be resistant to conventional weed killers. She says evidence of canola spread can be seen along railway lines in Victoria's cropping belt. The Organic Association's Robin Grant says once the ban is lifted no-one will be able to...

The findings showed huge variation in the amount of cross-pollination between GM and non-GM crops of maize, oilseed rape, rice and sugar beet. Field trials could be underestimating the potential for cross-pollination between GM and conventional crops, according to academics. Research by a University of Exeter research team in Devon has recommended a new method for predicting the potential for cross-pollination, taking account of wind speed and direction. Levels varied according to whether...

We learned ways to improve the crop insurance structure so that more producers can participate in this important risk management tool. The Subcommittee heard from producer representatives who suggested some specific changes in the program. A full transcript of the hearing will be posted on the Committee website in 4-6 weeks. Subcommittee Discusses Federal Crop Insurance Program With Producers. I was pleased to hear the witness' recommendations on what the Committee can do to help improve...
