WA farmer Doug Wright farmed in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, in 1985 and watched genetically modified canola transform the Canadian agricultural industry. [...] Originally from Kellerberrin, Mr Wright bought a farm in Borden upon returning to WA in 2007. [...] Doug is a strong proponent of GM technology and said not only had the technology increased the Canadian grower’s ability to farm more land but it had also improved the oil standard in products like cooking oils and created industry with oil processing plants.
