For those who want a simple answer from this video, either "for" or "against" GMO's, I am sorry that I do not provide one. The main point underlying my whole discussion is THIS IS COMPLICATED, and VERY FEW THINGS ARE BLACK AND WHITE. This applies to just about everything in our world today, and I see so much on social media where people want you to take their word at face-value without trying it yourself or looking for facts you can trust and pass the "sniff test." It is so hard to find information that is not tainted by politics or money these days. I am sad that science is being misused so much to further political or monetary goals, and try to cut through it in my own life by looking at many sources and using science when I think it is unbiased. The result is I tend to make both sides mad, because I don't align completely with either side's views. So be it.

With the desire for cheaper and more productive products GMO farming in some ways looks good. But it's made Farmers make decisions oftentimes , either become a large farm or to sell their land off to the industrial farming operation. To me this might be the more frightful part of this trending farm technology. We're in the west where we have large parcels of land and small populations that makes an operation like Pete , pretty hard for us to do. And due to our climate we're limited to the type of crops that we can produce. We also have very limited rainfall so you have to try to take advantage of crops that have been altered to fit. We do see some significant complications by doing so. As Pete mentioned one of the main thing is losing control of the seed. For example in the green belt such as where Pete lives he has a cow per acre. This year we've increased our cattle one for 35 acres last year it was one for 50 acres. We also have some land that we don't dare Graze because it's already in very poor condition from a few years back.

It's always risky Business altering natural elements. Oftentimes it takes many years to figure out the problems that arise from things like asbestos. What appeared to be a really cool natural substance LED in some cases to deadly effects. As we see with things like agent orange and herbicides. Therefore, sometimes it takes many generations. To find out the results. Consider something like the dodo bird will never understand the purpose of that bird and what possible uses of that particular species. Might have had for this planet. So with natural law we would look and see that everything in its natural form has a purpose. We just have to determine how it fits in the chain of life. What appears to be a tremendous benefit today in engineered food, in the future may prove to have been a huge mistake. So man marches on.

@@JustaFewAcresFarm Hi, i am a viewer from over the pond :P This sentence is why i think US ag and Europes AG is so different. You kinda deem glyphosate as safe as there has not been any evidence of otherwise.. While here in where i live. We would assume the worst since its about health/safety (And can cost society longterm) so we make it so it has to be proven safe before you are allowed to use it. I really feel this is why EU AG and US AG have been in a 30year old "war". GMO use is rather restricted where i live. Goverment makes health so high priority its actually illegal for me to import beef from the US. Would be allowed to import yours tho as you dont use growth hormones or antibiotics. But it would have to be documented, tested so much etc. That i have never seen beef from US in a store. I see beef from far down in Africa even. So we import even from some 3rd world countries. But not allowed to import from one of the biggest AG nations on the planet. But i obviously like "our safe" way. I might be biased tho :) Have a great day regards from Norway.

Pete, I can joyfully say that I am addicted to your videos. Can’t wait when you reach 200,000 subscribers. God bless you, Hilario, Grace, Henry and Cora.

Science gets buried by money.

You are correct on so many levels. We farm 700 acres. All of it hay ground. We raise alfalfa, alfalfa grass mix and native Prarie hay in which some of the ground really is native meaning it's never seen a plow. We use very little herbicides and even fewer pesticides.

Thanks for this, Pete. And yes, I call you a throwback. A throwback to reason, critical thought, and compassion. Your efforts are not in vain; I learned something from this video, as did many others.

Roundup kills living things, how could that be good for our food?

I love how, ever since you got the H up and running, your pop has participated in every hay harvest. You may not have intentionally done it for him but you seem to have truly brought him joy with the restoration of the family tractor. Incredible stuff Pete!

Good stuff Pete! One of the biggest issue is government subsidizes for crops like corn and soy. They buy all this crop and have nothing to do with it, so over the years they find places to put it like ethanol in gas, which is horrible for fuel combustion systems. Then they say there’s not enough acreage to raise livestock on grass to feed the world, but they plant 1000’s of acres of monoculture crops like soy to just turn around and put them in feed lot cattle. Broken system!

I appreciated your discussion of the GMO situation. I have a BA in botany from WVU and then a MA and PhD in plant taxonomy/ecology from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. All my degrees were when science was still science and telling the truth was important. I have never bought into the hysteria about GMO's. There is room for both them and non-them in today's agriculture. However, today you even have to carefully consider "peer reviewed" articles as many journals have abandoned objectivity for agenda. BTW, I have 2 older brothers. My late brother, Jimmy, earned his PhD in chemistry from Cornell in 1956. My sister-in-law is from a dairy farm near Bouckville. My other brother received his PhD in physics from University of Rochester in 1960. His wife was from a cotton/tobacco farm in SC. Enjoy your show. I care for a 5-acre former farm in Morgantown, WV where I grew up. My late parents bought it in 1937 w/ the house and barn. Daddy taught chemistry at WVU and taught me to garden. I still mow 2 large fields.

I enjoy watching your dad in the field. I remember my dad growing corn before using roundup. Every couple of years he would mix pumpkin seed in on the last few rows. I remember the last year he did that he hauled in 4 big wagon loads to the yard. It was wearing him out loading them, he was a little guy. He finally couldn't bring anymore in and just had to run over the rest with the picker. I still remember what the cornfield looked like picked and the busted pumpkins laying everywhere. He then would turn the cows in on it, man did they love those pumpkins! We canned dozens of jars of pumpkin, and dried several by slicing them into rings, peeling, and sliding them on to sapling poles (Native American method)

Just my thought on altering things through genetics. So first note I am sitting at the piano with my back turned to the audience. To keep from being shot. LOL So we've been a farm ranch family for a sixth generation. What I worry is the sterilization of the Earth by altering the plants and the weeds. We've always combated weeds and sometimes I get way out of control. But you also looked at the science of what the weeds are bringing up from the soil and what they're leaving on the surface of the Earth for other plants and animals to gain nutrition from that doesn't happen in the sterile fields. It is cool to harvest a crop that is genetically modified so everything hits at the right time and all of the seed heads or whatever your harvesting is the same height and you have more product at the end of the field. But my question is at what price will this be as we travel down the road of life.??

Thanks, Pete, for this video, and especially for tackling the GMO issue. It's true that the science of the effect of GMOs on animal and human organisms is complicated, but this seems to be a distraction from the deeper question. The application of GMOs and their associated technology has produced some clear negative results, which you outlined well: much reduced bio-diversity and the domination of farming by big tech corporations and their patents. You spoke about the US context, but the impact of large corporations on the farming practices of poor and developing countries is very considerable. For me and many other Europeans this is the biggest concern.
