I need to check, but I think MON did away with the terminator gene.

Organic farming is too labor intensive for large scale.

I don't need to read your food "facts." The website is activist and I'm fairly sure at least equal to, if not exceeding, MONs own website.

<<Farmers are not allowed to trade or save GM seed from one harvest to the next.>>

Nobody is forced to plant GM seeds. I looked into using open pollinated varieties at my hunting club. The cost is half of the hybrid seed but only have 1/3 the production. And you can save and replant every daym seed you grow. You can also save the hybrid seed from non GMO crops but you will only get 80% germination the next year and it drops every year after that.
