GM Crops Dominate US Farms, but Organic Increasing

As farmers across the United States are bringing in the harvest, silos are filling up with record or near-record quantities of corn and soybeans. To an extent not seen anywhere else in the world, U.S. farmers have embraced varieties that are genetically modified -- GM for short. But that doesn't tell the whole story. There's another movement shifting a small portion U.S. farming away from GM crops and toward organic agriculture. With experts calling for a variety of approaches to deal with the growing demand for food, VOA's Steve Baragona looks at two trends in American farming.

@Trusonorganics Codex Alimentarius is a part of the 2nd phase of the Jesuit plan to bring the whole world under the subjection of the Papacy and to restart persecution. This is encapsulated within a 300 year plan to counter the reformation. The 1st phase started in 1965 at the end of the Vatican II council. The 2nd phase started in October 2009. Codex Alimentarius was to pass just 2 months later in December of 2009. Bees are being poisoned by Jesuit Roundup spliced into GMO seeds.
