New Zealand compensated farmers planting GE contaminated corn
Farmers caught up in last year’s genetically engineered (GE) contaminated corn debacle have all been compensated satisfactorily, Biosecurity Minister Jim Anderton said. Mr Anderton told NZPA that negotiations with growers had taken some time because of the number of parties involved and the complexity of some of the claims. He was commenting on claims by National Party Associate Agriculture spokesman Nathan Guy that a group of farmers had been hung out to dry over the contaminated GE corn seeds.
