This very strange GMO corn. (With pictures)

To start off this post, I am not opposed to gmo crops, there is like 7 BILLION of us motherfuckers on this planet to feed. I’m opposed to the millions of gallons of glyphosate that is being released into the the environment. There has to be a better way.
With that said I have been around agriculture all my life and I have never seen corn make all the way to November and tassel. This corn’s height is between 3 to 6 foot tall. If we would have had a freak warm spell, there could have been a full ear of corn. Originally this field was planted around second week in April, and was harvested the last week of august, maybe first week of September. Obviously the grain combine must have had a malfunction of sorts and left a lot of corn behind. This corn has also survived 2 light frosts, normally it doesn’t take much frost to kill corn. Colder weather is coming and I think the first hard freeze will kill it off.

I'd agree with you that dumping a shitload of synthetic hormones onto people is a bad thing, but I'm not really sure what your point is here.

Have never seen corn behave this way. This field was harvested last week of August, 1 week in September. These corn plants are from the seeds the harvester missed. In little over 2 month this corn grew and is tasseling in November. Normally corn needs hot weather to grow, this something I have never seen gmo or non gmo corn do before.

Not sure where you live, but Autumn of 2019 has been really hot on the West Coast. In and of itself, I don't see what this really has to do with breeding or pesticides. Seems more like a product of the fact that the environment is unstable (and, even assuming that you shouldn't treat its equilibrium as a moving target, it's going to be attracted to states that are vastly different than what we've gotten used to). Seasons have been weird for a while...
