(This is a lengthy article on how GMO crops are handled in the field prior to approval). Having worked with unapproved GMO corn, we used to burn the fields to prevent this. This is something that USDA should actually be overseeing. This is the main problem I see with GMOS in the US -- the assumption they are safe (even when common sense suggests otherwise). First Starlink corn, now GMO wheat on the loose and the whole dicamba thing. Really, we should easily be able to do better than this.

What is Ancient Wheat? (Non-GMO) VS GMO Wheat

 Ancient wheat, which is also known as Einkorn wheat, is wheat in its purest form without all the processing which most wheat undergoes. Some of the ancient grains include farro, quinoa, emmer and spelt. These ancient wheats are non-GMO, whilst crops such as soybean, commercial wheat and corn are often GMO.  As with choosing any food, it’s beneficial to choose locally sourced wheat to reduce your carbon footprint. You can find locally caught grown made wheat products at your local health food store.
