 | | March 3, 2004 Ukiah, (Mendocino County) California -- In a sweeping victory, Mendocino County yesterday (March 2) became the first county in the nation to ban the growing of genetically altered crops and animals. |
 | | Mendocino County voters defeated the world’s largest producers of genetically engineered foods and seed, which pumped a record $621,000 into a county of 47,000 voters. |
 | | In addition, Mendocino County’s victory is part of a coast-to-coast act of defiance against the corporate stranglehold of America’s farmland, as farmers from California to Vermont, Maine and Hawaii and the Midwest band together to reject genetically altered crops. |
