Genetic Modification – Science vs Belief
Hi, I'm Amanda! My family farms corn and soybeans in Southwest Michigan. I'm also a practicing attorney.

The New York legislature sent a bill to the state's governor that would ban neonics, a pesticide used in seed treatments. Here's why I think Governor Hochul needs to veto this misguided legislation.
GUEST APPEARANCE: Hochul must veto Birds and Bees Protection Act

Gov. Kathy Hochul is facing a consequential decision: Whether to sign the Birds and Bees Protection Act. The legislation will prevent New York farmers from using neonicotinoid-treated seeds to grow
Some of the soybeans are starting to turn!(Different field than the last post, but still a positive!)
Green soybeans as far as the eye can see. I took this photo over the weekend. These beans should be turning yellow and drying for harvest. So why aren't they? Because...the spring drought.Seeds need water to germinate. But after we planted we didn't have rain for weeks. So those seeds just sat in the dirt and never sprouted. Then, finally, it rained. And the tiny plants started popping up.The problem? It was several weeks too late for planting. The question is whether they'll be ready to harvest before the snow flies. We have shorter seasons in Michigan, so it'll be close.
In my latest for AGDAILY I take a look at that status of plant-based "milks" and the FDA's moves on labeling.

The FDA's draft guidance on the milk label is a decent compromise on which the nutritional differences with actual milk must be clearly stated.
This man is a menace to society. It scares me to see certain groups giving him a favorable look."Conspiracy stories are simple, whereas reality is complicated."

A conspiracy theory can be halfway around the world before a peer-reviewed replication can alphabetize its sources.
I want to say I greatly appreciate what you are doing and the way you are doing it. I shared a couple recent items with my facebook ‘friends’. I lived on a farm until I was 10 and in a farming community, here in east-central Iowa, until I was 20. I have lived in the city–pop about 100,000–since 1975. I am still surprised, at times, at the ignorance of some of the folks around me concerning what goes on right outside of town.
Please consider me a friend,
