Pass the frankensoy, honey...

WASHINGTON (March 30, 2001 9:09 a.m. EST) - Farmers will sharply increase
their plantings of genetically engineered crops this year, despite
opposition to biotechnology overseas and signs of unease among U.S.
consumers, the government said Friday.

About 63 percent of this year's soybean crop, or about 48 million acres, is
expected to be genetically engineered, up from 54 percent in 2000, according
to the Agriculture Department's annual survey of farmers' planting
intentions. The biotech soy is immune to a popular weedkiller.
