Farm Scale Trials

Farm Scale Trials

Genetically modified (GM) crops are to be planted at 44 new locations around the UK this spring, the government has announced today.

GM oilseed rape is to be sown at 27 sites, and GM fodder and sugar beet is to be planted at a further 17 sites - in the latest phase of the controversial 'farm-scale trials'. A full list of sites, including six-figure grid references, is available to download here (file prepared as a pdf).
