He says they want to be an information source for producers.Speakers at the forum will include Iowa Ag Secretary Patty Judge, an economist, elevator operators, co-op managers, Pioneer Hi-Bred officials and an assistant Iowa Attorney General. Cashman says the state is carefully stradling the line, not endorsing and not criticizing the G-M-O technology and is just laying out the facts.The program begins at 8:30 a-m and runs through 3:30 this afternoon.
