Hey Sean, I gather that most of the genetic modification in grains comes in the form of "Round-Up" ready corn and soy. So, if this grain cannot withstand round up, is there a higher likelihood that it will have fewer ppm of herbicide? Perhaps I could pose the question this way: is all organic feed also non-GMO? What is the difference between the two?
"Organic" feed is non-GMO as well, but the definition for "Organic" changes often enough for me not to truly know.
Yes most Non-GMO feed will have a lower ppm herbicide, because most of the GMO has the herbicide grown directly into the cells of the grain..... It has been extremely hard to source local Non-GMO let alone "organic" feed. One of our goals is a smaller more sustainable approach with "Local" feeds.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteDoes the feed have any soy in it?
Better not let my wife find out about the eggs... ;)
