IS this True ? Really No markey in grains for animals for organic and smaller for Non Gmo ?

[Tammy N]

I asked about Organic and Non Gmo and this is the responce i have gotten . to me its pretty sad..

The best answer that I can provide to you is "we do not know". The only certified non-GMO grains on the market are the certified organic grains. All other grains have no classification regarding whether they are GMO-derived or not. When you buy grain for a feed mill, non-organic corn, for example, is just corn. Since we buy grain on the regular market for our plants, we have no way of knowing if it is GMO-derived or not. Since certified organic grains are much more expensive, the market for organic feeds is pretty small. Even if we wanted to pay the cost of that (and pass it on to our customers), there is not nearly enough organic grain to meet our needs. So we do not have available an organic line of feeds that is GMO free. But we are constantly evaluating this, and may do some sometime in the future.

I agree, it is a bad situation.they csn say there is no market, but, markets are created, they dont rily just happen. Thr responsibility lies with largrr agribsns concerns in my oppinion, not feed plant folks necessarily.
But there was something that confused me.
They said that only crrtified non GMO is certified organic. Then they said that they dont carry an organicine of feed that is vuarunteed non GMO....
I thought organic feed was.made from organic grains...
Whathave I gottrn wrong here.
AHA!it just started raining!. so much cor cutting the grass,but we reallyneed the rain.
