Here's a cool idea that could certainly catch the public imagination and involvement into the anti-GM campaign. If there was a big take up all over the country (which might require more work than the one person mentioned below can do by himself) then it could have the effect of forcing the government into a further bad PR situation and also force the locations of GM fodder maize sites to be disclosed to anyone that fancies a bit of weeding..

Councillor Plans to Halt GM Maize
A councillor in Yorkshire is trying a novel way to ruin government plans to grow gentetically modified maize. John Clark, a Liberal on Ryedale District Council, is supplying organic maize for people to grow at home. They would then have to be consulted about any GM maize being planned for the area, to avoid cross-contamination. The government's decision to agree in principle to the growing of a single variety of GM maize, but not beet and oilseed rape, has angered campaigners.
So instead mowing your lawn this year why not harvest it ?
