32. This is the real danger in GMO crops

For the second year in a row, a farmer near my residence (in Fayette County, PA) is planting Monsanto GMO soybeans on a scale of double what he planted them last year, so last years crop must have been successful.
First the acreage to be planted is sprayed with a dose of Roundup to kill all vegetation. The ground is not tilled, and the GMO seeds are planted without mowing or any removal of the dead vegetation. When the new growth of soybeans reaches about 6 inches tall, another coating of Roundup is sprayed over the field just in case any weeds have sprouted (this spraying seems to be particularly unnecessary from my observations, and probably occurs just as the plants are beginning to flower, making them attractive to the few remaining wild bees).
This farmer also used to have several blocks of beehives. During the last 5 years the hives have slowly disappeared from his property. They are now all gone.
When the beans are harvested they are used as food for the farmers dairy cattle, and thereby enter our food supply.
But Monsanto says it is all safe, and I am sure they would not lie to us.
