    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    Also, one more thing to clarify. Because of the way DDT was applied and directed for use, it killed waaayyyy more than the target species, mosquitos. It has been however used in effective ways to control mosquitos in homes where the exposure to it has been minimized. It still kills non-target...

    Quote: Congratulations on making the most absurd statement in the history of the internet. Umm...hold on. Medicine Man, I appreciate your concern on everything here. There are a lot of things many people don't know about DDT. I still believe that it is a nasty chemical but, it has saved...

    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    Listen, I understand what you guys are saying. You have been sold into believing it is the best way. Correction, it is the best way you guys currently know. I am not an expert on organic farming practices. I do subsistence farming for myself which has allowed me to be less reliant on commercial...

    Quote: They have spent a lot and made a lot! Do you really think it is their intention to do so for the good of the world? If they did not stem from such a questionable history anyways, I would be willing to believe their motive was helping the world population. This is not the case, time and...

    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    CAST is a non-profit organization which needs income...donations to maintain it's existence. They are right with Monsanto on the genetic engineering. Why would they publish anything that would disclaim the biotechnology of Monsanto? Doing so, could put them out of work. If you were to ask me if...

    Quote: I hope you really don't believe this is just "flap". There are reasons for concern with this matter. Do some research, great links to information have been provided here. Take some time to educate yourself with what is really going on. We are being mislead to believe products are safe...

    Lazy J Farms Feed & Hay : Quote: Contrary to what has been written here, the use of Pest Resistant corn has actually helped increase trendline corn yield in the USA. I use traited corn for MY protection and the protection of my crop. With the use of the traited corn I no longer need to use...

    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    Let me clarify a little more about what I mean. Yes, the ACS is non-profit as an organization. I am not vilifying doctors and researchers in my statement. The direction of their research is large in part orchestrated by pharmaceutical, insurance, and hospitalization corporations. If the...

    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    Quote: Then why do farmers pay Monsanto for the seed? If corporate farming is only in it for the money (which I don't doubt) why pay? Just as a side note: have all the anti gmo folks checked their 401ks or other investment vehicles to be sure you don't "own" Monsanto or ADM etc.? Because...

    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    Quote: Genetically engineered crops are not the answer, there is no factual data that represents a significant increase in crop yields. Nothing I have written was "made up", they are actual events taking place! I don't like having to worry about what's in the food I must buy! Unfortunately, I...

    Excellent links ChickenAl and +1 on the good points made by The Waddler! Have we got problems here, you bet! Can they be fixed? Over time, yes. Stay informed and vigilant to what is going on.

    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    "Beartooth is correct, studies show no difference in the nutrient content between commercially grown crops and organic crops." BTW it's Bear Foot! Who showed you the studies? What laboratory produced the study? Who funds the research? All very important and thought provoking questions. The...

    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    Jim, I applaud your efforts to reduce your impacts and please understand that my attack is not on farmers such as yourself. I grew up on a farm and lived in what used to be a primarily farming community. There is no misconception on my part of what farming has become, impacts past and present...

    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    Thanks ChickenAl for backing me up here and those of you who have. I am not spreading hype or hysteria with any of what I am saying. To say the conventional crops and organics are nutritionally the same is nonsense. Organic crops use no chemical pesticides of any sort, use solid crop rotation...

    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    As for the BT in corn....definitely not natural!! BT was originally produced by soil bacterias. They took the gene code for the production of BT from the bacteria and spliced it into the gene code of the GE corn. This is by far the most unnatural form of BT production! Now, when an insect eats...

    GMO dangers and animal miscarriages

    I would like to add some things to this discussion! First off, I think it is great that there seems to be some of you whom remain anti-GMO. The problem is exactly what many of you have specified, there are few hardcore studies about GMO's and their effects on living organisms. Any of them which...

    Official Poll: How old is / was your oldest chicken?

    I have serious doubts that 4% of the chickens made it to 16 years plus! My oldest was a 9yr old BR hen which laid eggs well up through 7 years and a sporadic egg here and there through the rest of her life. I don't doubt that chickens get older but, 16 is a real stretch! In my experience, most...

    RIP Big Guy

    Quote: Raising roosters around each other makes no difference in their aggression towards each other. In my experience, it depends on the breed, some roosters are more docile than others within each breed also. It's a crapshoot really! Usually if there are plenty of hens to go around with a...

    Anyone setting eggs on or near today (May 17th)?

    Quote: It depends on the breed of hen but, yes, sometimes the hens can be more of a threat I guess. Some are just better mothers than others! Well, I am on day 22. 1 hatched, 2 drowned in eggs and one pipping now. I hope things are just running behind. The humidity is tremendous right now and...

    Anyone setting eggs on or near today (May 17th)?

    Well, it looks like I'm late getting on this thread but....I set 35 OEGB and Rhode Island Reds on the 17th also! I just checked on them and have 1 OEGB pipped and dead in shell and have 1 RIR that is nearly hatched out as I type this! I think my humidity might be a little high, I do not have a...
