Monsanto likes to feed the world – with lies, that is, not food. The commonly-propagated myth that genetically modified foods are needed to feed the masses was just shattered with an incredible non-GMO wheat yield that outdid the current world record just by a hair.
Lincolnshire grower Tim Lamyman has broken the British wheat yield record by harvesting one of the highest wheat yields ever – and he did it without using GMOs.
Lamyman exceeded the five-year-old New Zealand wheat yield record by 5%. While Mother Nature certainly helped by providing near-perfect growing conditions, the crop was harvested on Saturday (August 22nd) and adjudicators confirmed it had beaten Mike Solari’s 15.7t/ha achieved in New Zealand in 2010, and without genetic tinkering.
Mr. Lamyman also broke the rapseed record earlier in August with a yield of 6.7t/ha, cut on August 5th, beating New Zealander Chris Dennison’s 6.31t/ha previous record.

What’s his secret? He said good seed, good growing conditions, and caring for his crop’s nutrition were the three factors which allowed him to break two world records in such a brief period. He says that it took five long years of work to achieve this goal, though.
Lamyman took care to feed his crops well throughout even a drought season, and his yields were tremendously high. We don’t need GM seed to feed the world. Record yields are coming in from growers all over the planet.

Wow, Chrissy what reporting!! Since there is no gmo wheat on the market commercially what else could it have been???? How long must we endure this poor reporting?
While I don’t buy into his philosophy, I’m forced to agree with GMO Roberts on this one.
She didn’t say there was GMO wheat on the market?
I will,
GMO wheat infiltrates supplies
Updated: 06/02/2013 @ 7:09pm
The big news this week was, of course, the discovery of GMO western white wheat
in Oregon. This opens up a whole range of questions. The first one: How
did this happen?
Proponents of GMOs say there’s no need to worry about food safety. Opponents of
GMOs say it was only a matter of time before something like this
happened.
And as we discover that not only are the regulations of GMO experimental
supplies inadequate but also the enforcement was lacking, it makes the
situation all the more concerning. With field trials ending in 2004, the
fact that experimental strains have entered the supply chain is
unnerving to say the least.
Obviously, this is a serious matter,
and the U.S. is trying to quickly reassure our customers while also
trying to answer the many questions surrounding the situation.
Though I’m sure actions have been taken, but still it hit the market, just didn’t know about it.
She implied it with her title. Some things are beyond you Benedict.
Her title says Non-GMO wheat?
I had to demonstrate that GMO wheat was actually released to the market for 9 years. Though it was from GMO experimentation going wild, but was still sold on the market.
So you need to do some research before you apply your mental distress and aggressive anti-social behaviors to the articles of others.
Yes you do need research there Benedict. If it is for research they don’t sell it, the seed company will give it to you. It also is suppose to be destroyed instead of harvested.
Again your aggressive behavior needs to be addressed.
I’m trying to inform you ASPD is serious.
R E A D m y p o s t, not sure how to type slowly,
The GMO experimental wheat infiltrated a neighboring farm. The wheat was sold on the market.
This happens as stated, and I’m sure the issues have been resolved.
But you see a topic to engage in your aggressive behaviors.
Didn’t know ASPD effected comprehension also.
Really, seek a mental professional GMO Roberts.
Take some time off from here and research ASPD, dude get help.
Yes, I’m sure a little contamination happened just as it did with StarLink, sorry don’t have time to explain. You can call Moscow to your research center for data on that one. Fact is no one bought the gmo seed and contamination was very limited. You need to get your aggressive fantasies looked at since you are the only one I have seen threaten anyone Benedict.
I half owe you an apology there GMO Roberts.
Rizzman inspired a new direction in my research, I learned a lot of very nice information.
So half way Sorry GMO Roberts, though your still an ass.
I half way respect and half like you, your passionate, strong and dedicated to your cause, but alas your still an ass.
Glad I didn’t post any of these articles or link them through my sites.
From one ass to another I can respect that.
Once is enough for me, no one should make up shit just for an article.
I’ll see ya around Mr Roberts, later Rizzman.
Later lol
No thanks to you GMO Roberts, your attitude stifles research.
If you weren’t so aggressive you might be able to help folks to understand, your not doing the GMO industry much good. with your ASPD.
Thanks Rizzman, great information really enjoyed the research. If you can find the original article, it was very informative.
Maybe you could teach GMO Roberts some social skills. I know he has experience and valuable knowledge to offer also. He could be an effective voice for the GMO movement, but not acting like he does.
You know lumpy, I’m going to give credit where it’s due, that was a nice reply. Rizzman did do an excellent job with his also. My goal is to never stop research, as I never expect anyone to take what I or anyone else says one here as gospel, without verifying it for themselves.
You’re splitting hairs. GMO wheat has not been commercialized and products containing it cannot be legally sold. This article is about a new record in crop yield, and states “..Tim Lamyman has broken the British wheat yield record by harvesting one of the highest wheat yields ever – and he did it without using GMOs.” The implication is obviously that he is competing with GMO wheat growers, which he isn’t.
Very interesting, researched GMO wheat, thanks for challenging me, sent in the right direction.
And yes the original article DOES NOT mention GMO anywhere.
Again thanks for making me research, very informative.

Wheat winner beats yield record by a whisker
David Jones

The British wheat yield record was broken this harvest by an enthusiast for
feeding the crop little and often through the season. David Jones
travels to the heart of Lincolnshire to find out some of his secrets.
Tim Lamyman crawled into the record book for his wheat harvest this year on
his Lincolnshire Wolds farm when he could have sprinted.
He broke the British wheat yield record by the narrowest of margins while a
small, ineligible field was close to being a world beater.
His record-breaking crop of Kielder winter wheat produced a yield of
14.31t/ha, beating the previous record by just 0.01t/ha, but the smaller
field made 14.95t/ha.
Christina, sometimes there is just no news to report, this is unacceptable.
Both the supporters of GMO and those opposed to GMO’s deserve better than this.
2013, sheez and not even a mention of GMO.
Found another one, not the one linked,
Lincolnshire farmer smashes wheat yield world record

Still no mention of GMO.
I finished the research on this, very interesting, thanks Rizzman, yeah yeah and you too GMO Roberts.
The final assessment by Monsanto was sabotage.
I was raised in Oregon, there used to be communes and hippy’s growing pot on the BLM land and don’t forget the rainbow people, actually kind of a dangerous place during growing season. This is extremely plausible and I personally would believe they were sabotaged based on my knowledge of Oregon and the environmentalists there. I’m not even close to their kind of crazy.
