That's because most of the corn produced in the Midwest (formerly used to feed livestock) is going to Ethanol production, a fuel additive that is harder on engines, gets lower gas mileage, costs more to produce and doesn't do anything to lower emissions. -----Original Message----- From: Lealynn@xxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 30, 2011 9:11 AM To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Pay now...or pay later Guess what Hawaii's #1 crop is? ( not #1 cash crop LOL). I was surprised to find out it was GMO corn. All but one of the pineapple fields (Dole visitor's center), and all of the sugar cane fields have been torn out and have become corn fields instead. With the perfect weather, they are able to produce TWO crops a year with the GMO corn. Liz ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
