I wrote about these GMO beets in an earlier post "Colorado Organic Farmers Organize Protest Hearings Against Monsanto Products & GMO Use in Boulder!" and wanted to update the story.
A decision on the GMO use has been delayed by the Commissioner for the time being until the matter can be further researched. This is a victory for the organic farmers and I know they will keep fighting to ensure that no GMO use is allowed.

The Boulder County Board of Commissioners wrapped up a seven-hour-long meeting Tuesday night by agreeing to delay a decision about whether genetically modified sugar beets can be grown on open space land.
“I don't think today is the right day to make a final decision about genetically modified beets,” said Commissioner Ben Pearlman. “They need to be part of a comprehensive look at what we want out of agriculture on our county's open space land.”
