A dozen or more gmo labeling efforts are gaining steam in cities and states across the nation a week before the election. Huge amounts of corporate cash are being used against them, as the food giants who have been piggybacking on the farmers' good name are fearful of losing their gravy train. From the farmer angle there is news: Our seed dealer tells us to get corn seed early for next year because a certain number of more conventional farms are buying up the supply, seeing no reason to pay exorbitant prices for "patented" seed that will result in a corn crop that sells for just three dollars. And, a well established local concern selling meat to those careful of what they eat is seeking funds to build a gmo free feed mill. It seems as if some "voting" is happening ahead of the election!
