Advice from deer to horses (and humans) on GMO feed?
November 06, 2013
"Why do the deer seem to like my corn so much more than the thousands of acres of GMO stuff growing around me? For years old farmers have insisted that wildlife prefer o-p corn to hybrids, and I have repeated that in my books, but frankly I have never really believed it completely. Now that we are talking about hybrid corn that has unnatural genes stacked in it, I am changing my mind."
-- Gene Logsdon, The Contrary Farmer
It is interesting that deer turned down the GMO corn, and it would aslo be interesting to see whether horses prefer natural over GMO feed. Personally, I make it a policy never to eat berries birds won't eat, as they are often poisonous. Read Mr. Logsdon's full post, "Small Mysteries Never Solved".
