Hi Michael and all: Im not underestimating multis at home. Sales of pesticides were around US 2 bi in Brasil in y 2000. Their presure in salling gmos are huge, many farmers have heard the mermaid singing. Some say that soybean production in the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul, is almost 50% gmos which its not possible, but in all case when gmo plantations are found they are burned to the ground. There isnt gmo seed production, they are smugled from Argentina though the farmers werent lucky because the plants (mostly soybeans) arent adapted to the southern latitudes and suffered. (They were looking for profits on seed production.) However consumers organization managed to halt the gmo salling and actually many states are producing their own legislation with moratoria and prohibition. (I saw the consumers page and there arent informations translated http://www.idec.org.br/paginas/inicial_2.asp, sorry) But you know its a looong and continuous job. Nelson.
