:No. First a farmer (that you choose to label company) is also a consumer. He consumes the products sold by other firms. He buys seeds, machinary, pesticides, fertilizers. Hence, he is also a consumer, who might decide on his own whether he wants to buy gm seeds or non gm seeds. he must be granted the choice. Besides, as many consumers, even if he made the choice not to grow gm seeds, he may be forced to do so because his neighbours are growing gm crops, and some contaminations occur.
