When I was a kid we never worried too much about weeds in corn rows once the corn got a long head start. Corn can outgrow most weeds.

Since you are 80, that means that was 70 years ago or 1940 when average yields were 50 bu/acre. I think I'll kill the weeds.......:cool:

Weeds aren't the only thing they're killing.

I have a favorite phrase that applies to situations/ideas/innovations like GMOs.....

"Do not mess with Creation, for you are small, insignificant, and biodegradable."

DNA is best left alone.
