Dairy farmers Barry and Mary Symonswere cited as pulling out of the U.K.
government's trial of genetically modified fodder maize crop at Portholland
on the Roseland Peninsula, near Truro, Cornwall.
The story says that following talks with their milk buyer, Peninsula Milk
Producers Ltd, today, the couple withdrew from the trial announced by the
Department of the Environment some weeks ago.
Friends of the Earth were cited as claiming today that so far seven farmers
had pulled out of seven of the 66 GM trial sites announced by the
government.
