2003-10-09 00:00:00 John Shedd, 85, loads a container with Bt-corn harvested from his son's farm 09 October, 2003 near Rockton, Illinois. Shedd and his son farm 800 acres of the corn on farms in Illinois and Wisconsin. Bt-corn is a GMO (genetically modified organism) crop that offers growers an alternative to spraying an insecticide for control of European and southwestern corn borer. The Shedds sell the corn for use in ethanol. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images/AFP) FOR NEWSPAPERS AND TV USE ONLY
