GE Sugar Alert: Tell American Crystal Sugar You’re Joining the GE Sugar Boycott!

Famuer Rasmussen Jr. and five other farmers filed what they thought
was a routine request to grow genetically modified sugar beets on
public land in Colorado’s Boulder County. The county already had
allowed genetically altered corn.

But the farmers got an earful.

Complaints
from residents and organic food activists concerned about the crops’
safety and local businesses hoping to maintain Boulder as a center for
natural and organic products prompted county commissioners to reassess
their genetically modified crops policy.

“This went from a campfire to a raging wildfire,” the Rasmussen, 45, said of the reaction to the six farmers’ December request.
