Genetically altered Monsanto Co. wheat found in an Oregon field in April hasn’t been found on any other farms or in commerce, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.
The department has interviewed the farmer who owns the field as well as the vendor who sold the seed and is continuing interviews with about 200 area growers, the USDA said today in a statement. Monsanto said last week its investigation is pointing toward an isolated occurrence.
