\"YFA<\/a>On Thursday, July 14 the U.S. House passed legislation that requires labeling of food derived with genetically modified organisms (GMOs).<\/p>\n

Wisconsin Congressmen Paul Ryan, Sean Duffy, Glenn Grothman, Ron Kind and Reid Ribble voted for the legislation that was supported by the American Farm Bureau Federation.<\/p>\n

The bill requires that food containing GMO ingredients with be identified by words, pictures or a bar code that can be scanned with smartphones. The U.S. Agriculture Department (USDA) would decide which ingredients would be considered genetically modified.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis legislation is far from perfect because it requires labeling when there is the presence of ingredients (from GMOs) that scientists have deemed completely safe,\u201d explained Jim Holte, Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation President.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, farmers and food manufacturers could not operate under a patchwork system of differing laws regarding GMO labeling in every state,\u201d Holte added. \u201cThis bill that was recently approved by the U.S. Senate prevents us from going down that road.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation thank Congressmen Ryan, Duffy, Grothman, Kind and Ribble for supporting this compromise legislation. Our hope is that President Obama soon signs this bill into law,\u201d Holte said.<\/p>\n

Made up of 61 county Farm Bureaus, the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation is the state\u2019s largest farm organization, representing farms of every size, commodity and management style.<\/p>\n

Holte is a beef and grain farmer from Dunn County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
