Syngenta, a Swiss biotech giant, is the primary producer of GMO crops in the S. Oregon. It is illegal for Syngenta to produce GMOs in their own country, however..., it is currently legal to produce them anywhere in the United States.

Local beekeepers are reporting hive losses of local honey bees as much as 70% with high correlation to wide-spread pesticide use by industrial farming operations.

This is a direct threat to the lively-hood of farmers and our food supply, because as much a 70% of all food depends on these precious bees for pollination.
