"Pioneer destroyed the plants that tested positive before they pollinated, and the EPA is confident that corn intended for human consumption was not affected," the agency said in a statement.

   Extractions: Violations Raise Questions About Compliance Elsewhere For the first time, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took enforcement actions against two biotechnology companies whose plantings of experimental genetically engineered crops were found by EPA inspectors to violate the law. That August 5 crackdown was hailed by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which today said that EPA should conduct more frequent inspections of genetically engineered crops to ensure that biotech companies comply with regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. In one case, Mycogen Seeds, a unit of Dow AgroSciences, failed to isolate its experimental insect-resistant corn with a border crop of hybrid corn and failed to plant trees to act as windbreaks. In the second case, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, a DuPont subsidiary, planted its experimental corn crop at an unapproved location too close to other crops. Both companies’ violations were in Hawaii and uncovered by EPA Region 9 inspectors. The provisions violated are designed to protect neighboring corn crops from breeding with the experimental biotech crops. The two corn crops at issue are engineered to be resistant to the pest corn rootworm by using genetic material from bacillus thuringiensis , a bacterium. Such crops—referred to as “Bt corn”—produce their own pesticide, reducing the need for spraying with conventional chemical pesticides. Corn rootworm destroys millions of dollars worth of corn each year.

But equally there is no scientific case for a blanket ban on the use of GM.” Beckett said she did not think the crop would be grown commercially in Britain until the Spring of 2005 at the earliest.

   Extractions: PROTECTION OF CORN CROPS How To Identify Black Bear Damage Care must be taken to distinguish damage caused by bears from that of other potential predators. Raccoons frequently will pull down stalks, strip ears from a stalk, and chew kernels from an ear; the large circular patches of damaged corn in a field usually are lacking with raccoons and less total area will be affected when compared with bears. Other animals, such as porcupines, deer, beaver, and even coyote, may cause damage to corn. Stalks may be chewed and felled (beaver, porcupine), ears and silk are often nipped (deer, coyote), or whole plants may be removed (beaver). It is important to check all field signs to correctly identify damage caused by these species versus bears.

   Dry, Hot Conditions Wilting corn cropsYields Hammered Due To Parched Fields The corn crop is going to have a lower amount in yield and a lower amount in quality  
   http://www.channel3000.com/news/2444940/detail.html
   
   Extractions: MADISON, Wis. Going downhill fast. That's how University Of Wisconsin Extension Agent David Fischer describes the current corn crop in Dane County. Dry, hot weather has parched the fields in and around the county. Fischer says the rain Thursday night did nothing but "settle the dust" in most fields. Some isolated areas got up to 1 inch of rain, but most saw less than 1/4 of an inch. That's not enough to help, and Fischer now estimates farmers will see an average corn crop loss of between 25 percent and 35 percent. "The corn crop is going to have a lower amount in yield and a lower amount in quality," Fisher said. "In both cases (that's) going to hurt a lot in the final check because they couldn't take such great cuts in quality on their price." Fischer cautions farmers who did see significant rainfall Thursday should wait at least three days before chopping corn for silage. If not, cows could suffer from nitrate contamination.

If the outlook proves accurate, a combination of drought, excess rains and Asian soy rust will have thinned this year's soy crop to below the record 52 million tonnes of soybeans produced in the 2002/03 crop year, which runs from October to September. "Soy was the crop worst hurt in absolute terms," Luis Carlos Guedes Pinto, the president of the ministry's crop supply department (Conab), told reporters at the ministry. Independent analysts have put the crop between 49 million and 52 million tonnes due mainly to the heavy losses reported from the principal southern soy states which were battered by a severe drought from January through March. About 90 percent of the soy crop has been harvested.

The group also demanded for appropriate actions and punishment to all those responsible for such and a complete halt in the entry of GMOs in the country, stating its immense threat to food security, the people's sovereignty, the environment and human health. Also present in the press conference were representatives from Masipag, SEARICE and CBCP Vice-chair Dinualdo Guttierez. Only yesterday, August 29, more than 800 farmers, church people and students staged a surprise attack on Monsanto Agro-corporation field testing site in South Cotabato and uprooted with their bare hands Bt corn (Bacillus thuringiensis) crops that were about to blossom and start contaminating. The farmers gathered in Marbel, South Cotabato and marched toward Barangay Maltana, Tampacan town and uprooted Bt corn crops covering about ¼ hectares in protest of the on-going field trials.

Pollen from a genetically modified corn can infiltrate fields of nonmodified corn 100 feet away, Bruce Tabashnik has found. It's these fields of nonmodified corn, or refuge corn, that are necessary to ensure that insects don't evolve resistance to the insect-killing protein produced by biotech corn. "What this points to is a need for a refinement of the refuge system, but it's not an indictment of it," said Tabashnik, head of the University of Arizona's entomology department.

19. Mycotoxin Levels In The 1996 Midwest Preharvest Corn Crop
    Monitoring mycotoxin levels in corn crops will enable the USDA to detect significant levels in crops prior to feed storage and alert farmers to take steps

    Extractions: Mycotoxin Levels in the 1996 Midwest Preharvest Corn Crop Mycotoxins are compounds produced by corn ear rots (molds) under widely varying conditions relating to weather or insect damage. Improper storage can encourage further development and is usually the cause of levels toxic to animals. Monitoring mycotoxin levels in corn crops will enable the USDA to detect significant levels in crops prior to feed storage and alert farmers to take steps necessary to prevent additional problems. In the fall of 1996, the USDA collected preharvest corn samples in a total of 750 fields selected across Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois. These three states represented approximately 50 percent of the U.S. corn crop. Fields were selected using random sampling procedures designed to assure that each acre of corn in the states had an equal chance of being selected. Just prior to harvest, a four-ear sample was taken from each field and analyzed for six mycotoxins: fumonisins B1, B2, and B3 (FB1, FB2, FB3); vomitoxin; zearalenone; and aflatoxin B1. In 1995, the USDA conducted a similar study in 639 fields in Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois.
