@ Jennifer: Once the corn is genetically modified, all bets are off and organic production is then a contradiction.

The little number on the produce (or nearby) tells whether something is organic or not … but off the top of my head I can’t recall the details. Scout around … or maybe someone else will reply to this comment thread.

Jenny, thanks for all your questions! You’ve inspired me to do more research about this for a follow-up post. Hopefully I can uncover some answers to help us all make sense of this stuff!

Wow. That’s scary stuff. What’s the definition of genetically modified? Are these corn seeds that have been modified to produce greater yields? Is it possible for farmers to grow genetically modified seed organically, and does that make a difference? How do I know if the corn see I’m looking at in a catalog — or the corn at the Green Market — is genetically modified for not?

(Can you tell I’m not exactly a corn or farming expert?)
