SOUTH BELOIT, IL - OCTOBER 9: John Handy displays a handful of GMO (genetically modified organism) Roundup Ready soybeans brought in by a farmer to the Demeter grain elevator October 9, 2003 in South Beloit, Illinois. The elevator tests beans to determine if they are a GMO or non-GMO crop. The elevator pays a premium for non-GMO crops that are often exported to Japan and can be used in food products. To verify the GMO status the elevator keeps on file a test strip and a sample from each truckload of beans it buys from farmers. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
