Greenpeace protesters uproot GM crops in Norfolk
At 5.15am today a Greenpeace decontamination unit removed genetically modified (GM) pollution from the third farm-scale experiment to be disrupted in the UK over the last eight weeks.
The six acre GM maize (1) site at Lyng in Norfolk, due to flower in one week, was partially decontaminated by 30 peaceful Greenpeace volunteers with the help of a farm mower. Removing the crop down to its roots, the maize was then bagged up to contain the contamination.
