Farmers grew biotech crops in 21 countries in 2005 ? including Spain and
Canada. In a new video webcast at biotech-gmo.com, Pedro Lerín and Lorne
Hamblin each candidly discuss the impact that biotech crops have had on
their operations during the last six to eight years, February 2006.


?Biotechnology has allowed us to do things that we haven?t been able to
before,? says Canadian farmer Hamblin. ?It?s given us the opportunity to
clean up fields, to grow different crops. And, biotech enhances yields and
the bottom line.?

Expressing similar results from the heart of Europe, Spanish farmer Lerín
comments, ?By planting a transgenic corn, for example, we have a better
yield, cleaner grain and a better quality. ? Biotechnology helps the
environment very much. It helps in avoiding to apply so much insecticide and
fungicide treatments of all kinds. It creates better grain ? much healthier,
without diseases.

?To the people that don?t want to use biotechnology, I tell them not to be
afraid, to open up, to listen, to see what happens with biotechnology ? the
progress that it means. And, not to let themselves be influenced by things
that are not true,? Lerín continues.

These exclusive interviews with Pedro Lerín and Lorne Hamblin ? as well as
two of their fellow countrymen, Art Enns of Canada and Ismael Purroy of
Spain ? can be found at the Monsanto Company?s Conversations about Plant
