Syngenta says it will comply with Jackson County GMO crops ban | OregonLive.com:
"A spokesman for Syngenta, the Swiss biotechnology firm that grows genetically engineered sugar beets in Jackson County, says the company will comply with a measure passed Tuesday that bans genetically engineered crops.
"If we can no longer cultivate or grow any GE crop there, then we wouldn't do it," Paul Minehart, a spokesman for Syngenta, said in a phone interview Friday.
"Whatever the provisions are, of course, we would abide by the law."
Syngenta leases a number of fields around Jackson County to grow its sugar beets for seed sales.
But its co-existence alongside organic growers in the narrow Rogue River Valley has caused friction. "
