US finds Bayer's short GM corn can be safely grown, but hurdles remain [View all]
https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-finds-bayers-short-gm-corn-can-be-safely-grown-hurdles-remain-2023-06-07/CHICAGO, June 7 (Reuters) - U.S. farmers can safely grow a new type of corn that Bayer AG (BAYGn.DE) genetically modified to be shorter than typical crops and better tolerate strong winds, the government said on Wednesday, in a win for the global farm chemicals and seeds maker.
Short-stature corn is among the latest crop varieties developed to withstand increasingly volatile weather associated with climate change, joining a growing list that includes drought and heat tolerant corn, soybeans and wheat.

As a former farm kid, the concept of short, stocky corn intrigues me. I like it.
