NeCGA President, farmer says Mexico’s biotech corn ban is unreliable, inefficient

A Nebraska farmer says Mexico’s ban on genetically modified corn is an unrealistic goal that would hurt corn farmers.

Andy Jobman tells Brownfield grows yellow and white corn and soybeans near Gothenburg. “To go backwards is what this would all entail in terms of technology and efficiency.  This is really unappealing to me and to a lot of growers.”

The Nebraska Corn Growers Association President says there isn’t enough organic seed to supply Mexico and many farmers won’t change varieties.
