24-01-2012 10:12 Suzanne Shirborun, a farmer from northwest Iowa, talks about the safety of biotechnology and why consumers are scared of it. Biotechnology speeds up the process of producing new hybrids which farmers can use. Some hybrids can help farmers reduce the amount of chemicals they spray on their crops as the resistance gene is built into the seed. "As a consumer I feel very confident going to any grocery story in the United States and getting safe food produced by US farmers," explains Suzanne.
