Jackson County is that rarest of Oregon counties, the only one that has banned the growing of genetically modified (GMO) crops.
It took a vote by the people and action by the legislature to make it happen.
Now anti-GMO farmers and their supporters want the legislature to allow more GMO-free zones.
House bill 2469is the mechanism; anti-GMO campaigner Elise Higley is firmly behind it. She and State Representative Pam Marsh of Ashland are our guests.
