COUNCIL Chambers overflowed with more than 100 people last Thursday night to hear the council agree it did not support the use of genetically modified crops in the shire. The council opted to a modified approach to a motion originally put up by Councillor Lyn Serventy. Theywill send copies of a petitions signed by almost 1500 shire residents, and another signed by seven local doctors, to Agriculture Minister Terry Redman along with an expression of the strong local concerns.
