“The USDA is trying to answer two big questions about this wheat. First, where else can it be found? Second, how did it get into this farmer’s field? Hundreds of millions of dollars could hang on the answer to the first question. If rogue genes are present in America’s wheat harvest, some customers — especially in Japan and Korea — say they won’t take it. Every test that comes up negative eases the worries of the wheat industry, but it also makes the source of this GMO wheat a bigger mystery. Investigators are finding no trail that leads from the Oregon farm back to Monsanto’s research operation.”
