GM corn found in NZ
GM Contamination Found In NZ Corn04/07/2003 07:12 PMIRNGenetically modified contamination has been found in sweet corn harvested in New Zealand. The Food Safety Authority is now trying to determine whether the contaminated corn is fit for human consumption. The sweetcorn, harvested in New Zealand has tested positive for genetically modified ingredients after being checked in a Melbourne lab. Audio and Video GM contamination found in sweetcorn - 04/07/2003 06:52 PM - Food Safety Authority dairy and plant products director Tim Knox talks to Newstalk ZB's Katie Duncan about the discovery of GM contamination in NZ-grown sweetcorn. Play RequirementsThe alarm was raised when a Japanese company carried out a routine test on pizza topping mix that contained the kiwi corn. But the crop's seeds were sourced from US company Syngenta. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is investigating the incident after being alerted by the kiwi company exporting the corn. Food Safety Authority dairy and plant products director Tim Knox says the major concern is whether it is a GM substance approved for human consumption. He hopes to get results over the weekend. MAF says so far, only harvested corn has tested positive, not the original seeds.

Re: Mad Cow Update
Over the last three years I have been buying minerals in bulk tractor trailer loads. There is sometimes scraps of stuff on the truck like Fruit loops or this sandy looking mush. The mush is roasted meat and bones ground up, meat and bone remnants. This is what dog food is made from. The driver tells me he regularly delivers loads to diaries.

Re: Dornachian reactions?
Dear Lloyd, I agree with you that after 20 years of having input from Alex maybe the farmer in question was so used to being spoon fed that they could not think for themselves. My take on the whole situation is that BD is a great tool for creating soil fertility, however the system as proposed by RS. was only a work in progress. Unfortunately he died before he could finish it. The work will never be finished as a complete integrated system. There is always further work to be done, but the further work cannot be called Biodynamic. What we have now is a farming system based on the teachings and thoughts of Rudolf Steiner. What Steiner taught has as many interpretations as there are anthropops. Each person will accept some of the RS ideas, while rejecting others. I find that there are even many people who espouse to following the teachings of Steiner but who dont use the preps on their gardens eve if they have a garden these days. One way to see the potential of BD is to use it in the vege garden along with compost teas and Cosmo fertiliser. It is the additive inputs that make BD work. You could probably say that it is BD that has the potential to make organics work. To me it is just part of the years work to put the horns down and put out the preps. James Dear Hugh Thanks for an interesting note - your mexican friend is obviously enjoying his success. I think the major problem with the old guard inAustralia was one of communication (lack of it) , that disenchanted farmerthat I quoted said " Alex wont address the problem", it should have been up to the farmer himself to recognise the problem in its early stages and todo something positive about it himself, and after twenty or so years as apracticing, certified, Biodynamic producer he should have been equipped to dothat without needing to call on the services of the master. Striving for certification is part of the problem- there are rewards for organic certified produce - but I think only isolatedopportunities for further premiums (above organic) from Demeter and thenonly for restricted quantities and specific situations. Our newer (Biodynamic Agriculture) organisation has taken a more open and educational position and many farmers are learning to do things for themselves. There will be more mistakes made for sure, but learning always involves mistakes. If the traditionalists manage to take over thatorganisation (and its likely, politics being what it is ) then there areenough of us free thinking loonies on the outside to carry things forward whatever happens. I believe that homeopathic remedies and what Iterm low level radionics - field broadcasters, potentiser instruments, (andprobably some of the paper based systems), combined with dowsing andbasic soil remineralising are the way of the future for agriculture. Energyfarming! I sure have met some interesting people in thelast few years!

Re: radionic instruments
G'day Lloyd, Peter charged $100 for a 4 card and a two pot potentiser. We were amazed at how cheap it was.

Re: Negative ion generator coils.
Dear Lloyd, It is great to know that I have another fan extolling the virtues of the Monaro high plains country. When Barbara and I are down there we tune into what we feel is the essence of Australia which Banjo Paterson summed up in the ballad of "The Man from Snowy River". The Monaro is an area which has been the lynchpin in the fortunes of many great pastoral dynasties. When I was a youth I was one of GRAZCOS rouseabouts. towards the end of the year the shearing team would head down south to one of scottish Australian Pastoral Company's properties at Rock Flat where they would bring down their big western wethers from Angledool and let them grow out. I am not joking when I say that each one was as large as a Shetland pony. Absolutely back breaking work for the shearers, but very good for the rousies after coming from shearing Corriedales down at Coolac where the learner was shearing 220, and I was one piecepicker for 5 shearers. From Rock Flat we would go to Delegate . Delegate was a depot shed which everybody enjoyed because it was so close to town. The reason that I bring this up is that in my lifetime I have seen the degeneration of large areas of the Snowy country, from many and varied reasons. I think that if I can do something to help solve some of the problems that have developed then it is worthwhile. Glad to hear that you are getting some rain at Narrandera. James Lloyd Charles wrote: Dear James I am glad we think alike on this - I started to write to Liz but its turning into an essay - I'll finish it later James wrote> Dear Liz, I differ to you with the effect of the Monaro high plains. It enlivens and revitalises me. Although I admit the Monaro is one of the toughest places to try and make a dollar agriculturally, it has that same effect on me, every time I come south through the hills around Bredbo or down out of the park towards Adaminaby I feel like I have come home. The soils are for the most part ordinary and where there is a bit of fertility its full of rocks, the climate is uncompromisingly bad, rainfall pattern is haphazard at best, but the area keeps producing top quality livestock with a vitality and productive ability that is unsurpassed anywhere. It must affect the humans too because very rarely do they leave. I dont know what it is, I'll leave the definition up to James.
