Farming Tidbits


Things I've learned about farming: 

GMO does NOT mean Genetically Mutated Organisms.

Conversation: 
 Chelsea: "So if I was to explain GMO on the blog, I would say that GMO beans are resistant to round-up?"
 Joel: "Yup." 
At this point he began to explain other variations to beans and corn, but I told him that I can only handle one bit of information a day.
Chelsea: "And GMO stands for Genetically Mutated Organisms, right?"
Joel hangs his head, shakes it and chuckles.
Joel: "No, no, no. Let's not start a worldwide epidemic. It stands for Genetically Modified Organisms. We don't mutate seed!"
