A graduate of AFBF’s Partners in Agricultural Leadership program, Joanna Lidback spoke out against actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s GMO labeling press conference on Capitol Hill earlier this month in an article for the Washington Times. Lidback, a Farm Bureau member in Vermont, cited the affirming science behind GMO crops, pointed out Paltrow’s disconnect with today’s consumers and concluded by saying, “no mother who does her homework on GM labels would agree with Ms. Paltrow’s self-absorbed political agenda.”
