Australia's first GE canola harvest

http://www.greenpeace.org.au || "We all thought this crop would not be going into the food system, but obviously it is," says Australian farmer Juliet McFarlane.

In 2008, the first genetically engineered (GE) crops were harvested in Australia, and already there is evidence of GE seed contamination.

Australian farmers explain the threats GE crops pose for farming.

They charge $1,000 up front for a technology agreement?

No other farmer anywhere in the world is charged a fee for that contract.

In the US, state seed laws cover most of the issues they speak of in the video.
