Farmers have been growing genetically engineered (GE) sugar beets since 2008. The beets, developed via biotechnology, are genetically boosted to withstand sprayings of a common herbicide that is otherwise fatal to both crop and weeds. Some organic farmers fear that these plants could be harmful. Pollen from the GE beets could contaminate organic sugar beets, irrevocably altering their genetic content. Environmentalists are concerned that herbicide-resistant weeds could develop. A 2010 request for an injunction against growing the GE beets, however, was rejected by a federal judge.
