Yes Richard - all monoculture scenarios reduce the gene field -historically it was hit and miss in that it wasn't all pervasive. Once you get mass plantings with gm plants and the crossover into native plants, then when mass spraying of herbicides/pesticides and the excess spray that extends into neighbouring areas - nowhere is safe from the blight!! The problem is that it cannot be contained!! If one farmer wanted to grow gm crops and it was contained - there would be no problem! But this is not the case! We who do not want it, have no choice as the likes of Monsanto force it upon us. Plus we cannot tell which of our foods contain this poison!!!
