Some good info about the lousy economics of GMO crops:

First, in The New Farm, a reprint of a speech given by Michael Duffy in December 2001 at the American Seed Trade Association Meeting in Chicago:

Iowa Ag Economist Makes Dispassionate—And Utterly Convincing—Economic Case Against GM Crops Before a Hostile Crowd.

Duffy is Associate Director for Iowa State University's Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture (which has a very interesting site, by the way). I think he definitely qualifies for hero status. Here's another article by him on the same topic:

Study Shows No Economic Advantage for Iowa Farmers to Plant GMO Crops.

But hey, what's real research worth when you've got a "no complaints" testimonial from a real live farmer? (As an aside, average farm size in Iowa is in the range of about 350 acres, so Wassenaar, farming well over three times that, is definitely one of the larger operators. And perversely but predictably, it's the big farmers like him who can rake in the most government subsidies. And "most subsidized" is pretty much the only metric by which such farmers can be accurately labelled "successful"; they're certainly not more efficient than sustainable operaters.)

Also, here's a reprint of a NY Times article from 2003 on a predictable problem with Roundup and Roundup Ready Seeds:
Widely Used Crop Herbicide Is Losing Weed Resistance.

I don't know anything about neRAge (I remembered reading the article and found neRage's site by googling to find the full text), but at the very least they look like a good source of links and info on this stuff.
