2001 ACGF Corn Producers Survey GMO's & Markets INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to conduct 500 telephone interviews with corn producers who have a minimum of 100 acres of corn planted.  They were asked how much corn they planted last year and this current year.  In addition, they were asked how many of those acres were planted in genetically modified corn (GMO) varieties.  Questions were asked that deal with the marketing strategies of other countries that threaten import markets for U.S. commodities abroad. The first section also measures the total and mean corn acres planted in each state.  The objective of this study was to conduct 500 telephone interviews in the states: Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin.
