1)	What are GMOs?

2)	What is happening around the world to affect the sale of US-produced GMOs.

3)	Should pressures be put on the Europeans to force them to purchase GMO commodities?

4)	What are the reasons that U.S. producers want to continue using GMOs?

5)	Are there any repercussions of continued GMO usage?

6)	Will farmers be planting as many acres of GMO crops this year as last?

7)	Are there options available to farmers who plant GMOs?

8)	Are there options available to farmers to plant non-GMOs?

9)	Conclusion

To educate the producer on the entire issue of genetically modified crops, the American Corn Growers Association has developed a program of education and information sharing called “Farmer Choice-Customer First.” This program recognizes that the most important entity that must be protected in this whole debate over GMOs is the American farmer. For more information of “Farmer Choice-Customer First”, contact the ACGA at 202-835-0330 or check the ACGA web site or Email us at acga@acga.org. The ACGA would like to thank the following for their financial support in making “Farmer Choice-Customer First” available to production agriculture: John Merck Fund HKH Foundation Bullitt Foundation Farm Aid Sol Goldman Trust Frances Hatch Acorn Foundation Starfire Fund
