Monsanto's Roundup Ready Crops Contain Organism Causing Animal Miscarriages, Scientist Says Updated: 02/23/11 05:25 PM Purdue University's Emeritus Professor Don M. Huber presented the findings of the research, which observed the new organism using a 36,000X electron microscope. According to Treehugger, the organism can cause disease in both plants and animals, a rare feat. www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/23/monsanto-roundup-ready-miscarriages_n_827135.html

open letter written by Dr. Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University, to Tom Vilsack... As the letter, printed below, notes, this research is still preliminary. However, Huber, who has 40 years experience working as a scientist for "professional and military agencies that evaluate and prepare for natural and manmade biological threats, including germ warfare and disease outbreaks," believes this should be treated as an emergency until more research can confirm or disprove these initial findings. www.lavidalocavore.org/diary/4523/researcher-glyphosate-roundup-or-roundup-ready-crops-may-cause-animal-miscarriages

The Worlds Largest Human Experiment: GMOs, Roundup And The Monsanto Monstrosity Sunday, July 10, 2011 10:53 Informed consent is one of the most basic aspects of patient-physician relations, as well as subject-researcher relations in the case of research studies. This involves making the patient aware of and verifying that they understand the risks, benefits, facts, and the future implications of the procedure or test they are going to be subjected to. In the case of genetically modified organisms we have not been made aware of the risks. In fact, the GMO industry has deliberately hidden the real dangers behind the seeds and herbicides they peddle. beforeitsnews.com/story/802/757/The_Worlds_Largest_Human_Experiment:_GMOs,_Roundup_And_The_Monsanto_Monstrosity.html&SID=TW

More experts raising concerns over Roundup Saturday, 13 August 2011 18:56 1.Roundup herbicide research shows plant, soil problems 2.Roundup Blamed for Plant Disease, Super Weeds, Lowered Fertility Rates 3.Delays pile up in investigation of biotech woes NOTE: The number of mainstream agricultural experts raising serious concerns over Monsanto's Roundup herbicide is growing all the time. These 3 recent articles report on the concerns raised by government scientist Bob Kremer, a microbiologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (item 1); Michael McNeill, a PhD in genetics and botany from Iowa State (item 2); and plant pathologist and former Purdue University professor Don Huber (item 3). www.gmwatch.org/latest-listing/1-news-items/13369-more-experts-raising-concerns-over-roundup

Genetically Modified Soy Diets Lead to Ovary and Uterus Changes in Rats September 22, 2010 04:33 PM If you're still eating genetically modified (GM) soybeans and you plan on having kids, a Brazilian study may make you think again about what you put in your mouth. Female rats fed GM soy for 15 months showed significant changes in their uterus and reproductive cycle, compared to rats fed organic soy or those raised without soy. Published in The Anatomical Record in 2009, this finding adds to the mounting body of evidence suggesting that GM foods contribute to reproductive disorders (see summary at end). www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-smith/genetically-modified-soy_b_735528.html

DuPont Pioneer T Series Soybeans launched January 23, 2013 DuPont Pioneer® has launched its next generation T Series Soybeans – 39 new products. Don Schafer, DuPont Pioneer senior marketing manager for soybeans, says it’s the company’s largest single-year introduction of new soybean products. Schafer told reporters, “All of these products have been bred using Pioneer’s proprietary Accelerated Yield Technology (AYT™) process that helps pinpoint native trait genes for increased defensive trait protection, improved pest resistance, targeted agronomic traits, and, greater yields.” The new series succeeds Pioneer’s Y Series soybeans which will be phased out but remain available as long as there’s market demand.Thirty-four of the new T varieties contain the Roundup Ready gene. Schafer says, “The RoundUp Ready one gene that we utilize is a proven technology in the marketplace. The glyphosate trait that is in the Genuity RoundUp Ready II Yield products and the glyphosate trait that is in Pioneer brand RoundUp Ready 1, with the original trait, is the same gene.” Thirty-two of the products are also soybean cyst nematode (SCN) resistant. There are two new varieties of Plenish high oleic varieties, five new products with the LibertyLink gene and two new varieties with the Roundup Ready/STS stack. Schafer tells reporters the T in the series stands for “technology, trust, and tested”, He adds, “The impact trials we use – we have hundreds of those across North America on grower’s farms, testing on their locations, under their environments, under their field conditions.” The Dupont Pioneer T Series soybean varieties will have the letter T in the middle of the product number. They will be available this year but Schafer says growers can expect “very large volumes” in 2014. brownfieldagnews.com/2013/01/23/dupont-pioneer-t-series-soybeans-launched/
