Genetically engineered and conventional sweet corn -- Sept. 2000
Back in 2000, Farmer Jeff Wilson and I thought we'd try and figure out if the consuming public wanted genetically engineered crops or not. As Jeff would say, if people aren't going to buy it, why would I grow it?
I recently discovered some of that old video. This was way before youtube, but the idea was, for those who couldn't visit the farm, we would bring the farm to them. The original press release can be found at http://www.foodsafety.ksu.edu/en/news-details.php?a=3&c=29&sc=220&id=46895.
We'll be releasing a bunch of Farmer Jeff videos on youtube over the next couple of months, to provide some insights into the food production trade-offs that farmers face every day.

Your past research on consumer preference is very interesting. I especially like the idea of using genetically modified crops as part of a non-conventional, minimal input, IPM farming method.
While I was looking for the original paper that led to the press release, I found some unflattering reports, so I was wondering if you had considered re-doing the experiment.
