Canadian farmers opposed to GM wheat: survey

Canadian farmers oppose the introduction of genetically modified wheat until market conditions change, a Canadian Wheat Board survey has found. In the CWB’s annual survey of 1,300 Western Canadian farmers, only 9 percent said GMO wheat should be grown as soon as it’s available, with the majority saying it shouldn’t be grown until conditions are met such as proving benefits to farmers and demonstrating market demand. Nineteen percent said it should not be grown in Canada.
