    SYNGENTA'S ENOGEN        CORN FOUND IN NON-GMO WHITE CORN

        Nebrasks farmers who grow non-GMO white corn had their crops        contaminated by Enogen corn.          
          
        Enogen is genetically              engineered with an enzyme used for the first step in              making corn ethanol. Enogen GMO corn can contaminate food corn                  through cross pollination in the field.
                
        Farmers whose white corn crops are GMO contaminated face market        rejection and lost income. 
        
        "There are a lot of ethanol plants and lots of white corn. And        those don't mix," says Joel Starr, an organic farmer in        Hastings, Nebraska. "That equals a trainwreck."
