GM Debate Rumbles on in the B&R

This is actually from last week's B&R - so much has been happening recently that I've only just got round to looking at it properly!
There haven't been any letters in favour of GM or the farmer who planted them - but there was a big article last week on Primrose Earth Awareness Trust. Paul Badham, who runs it, was known as 'Organic Paul' when I first arrived in Hay - he's been farming organically, and had a stall on the market, for years. The farm where the GM maize was planted is only half a mile from his farm, and if any pollen gets that far, it could ruin over twenty years of hard work, as Primrose Farm could lose its organic status, through no fault of their own.
Paul Benham plans to show a film called 'The World according to Monsanto' (who are in favour of GM crops - they provide the seed technology for 90% of GM crops). He hopes to show that GM crops are a bad idea, and small, organic farms like his, which are incredibly productive for the amount of ground they cover, are a better way forward to feed the world.
Mr Harrington, the GM farmer, will be speaking at a meeting at the Globe next week called 'Top Ten Ways to Feed the World and Wales Too', on Thursday 12th March at 7.30pm.
