A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are generally known as recombinant DNA technology. With recombinant DNA technology, DNA molecules from different sources are combined in vitro into one molecule to create a new gene. This DNA is then transferred into an organism and causes the expression of modified or novel traits.

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods produced from GMO that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola cotton seed oil and wheat.

Twin Falls, Gooding, Jerome, ID, and Regional Economic Outlook for 2005  

If

Twin Economic Report done by me; Twin Falls, ID has the potential for additional car washes, detail centres and mobile units washing. Twin Falls has enough water in their reservoirs to make it through the summer for farmers and agriculture industry. Mike BuRec said recently that even if this winter has a snow cover of 20 Fae we will not back to normal. American Falls is only 14% capacity. Palisades is limited to 12% and Jackson Lake is at 65%, but remember, fires water. Water in the rivers and lakes is important for many reasons, and recognize that 2 /3 of all the world's fresh trout from Magic Valley and South Central Idaho Snake River. The Shoshone Falls are 212 meters high,

higher as the Niagara Falls and was often referred to Niagara Falls of the West. If water is getting too bad situations and not enough snow in the package 03-04. We had heard talk of David McAlindin the Twin Falls City Economic Development Dept.

http: //www.idoc.state.id.us/idcomm/profile...s/TwinFalls.pdf

that he felt comfortable that the situation is safe water supply and good for business. They work hard to diversify the industry and recruitment of non-agriculture, cleaner industries. The region is growing all kinds of foods is important. Sugar beets, potatoes, milk products, Alphalfa, sheep, cattle, hay, grain, wine, beans, wheat, barley, sweet corn, grass seed, oats. They need the water. The delivery is said that it was better than anticipated or feared, and that there are more than enough for the summer, but that leaves little to spare in the event of a mild winter.

The water contains arsenic, from natural erosion and also from previous chip Manufacturing, barium, chromium, fluoride and nitrates from fertilizers ebermaigen expire. These levels are not opposed, but the NPDES permit is in rough BMPs and enforcement and has caused a few companies, food processing will be doing is not in the situation permits, costing future jobs; Glandia Foods, Inc . In Gooding.

The local senators are working on ethanol to help and this initiative could lead to large-ID. McDonald was hit by the economy and the negative PR from that bull shit litigation in Canada to help people get from fat to eat Mickey DS. Recently, McDonald's for the taking antibiotics, steroids and other growth hormones, it is a bit of a problem for farmers, because now with the beef, Mad Cow, Canada moratorium in some of these animals come from ID and Milk and ID is a huge Dairy state in the southern area. Learn more about the importance of the dairy industry in the United States and South-ID;

also harm the economy and fewer people go to eat in QSRs, restaurants are Kraft Foods, McCain Foods (125 people laid off), JR Simplot, the potato closed unit Heyburn dismissed and another 50 people at another treatment plant. These companies together with a total of 600 people in the region. Debt are also the war in Iraq and easier travel. Paper is a large water users and Boise Cascade also has other issues with economic issues. Dairy is about 6-10% compared to last year, why? Could it be the rise of Starbucks (6000 plus locations) and the cream and milk in the Frappachinos with milk? Yes, some. Also of concern is NM-law with respect to the minnows and Rio Grande and Heron Reservoir, about a problem with low water levels in Idaho would be the same as the Sarbain Oxley issues in the Corporate World, it would be disastrous for agriculture in South Central Idaho . But all in all, things are good and have a net profit even with the bad news. Dell has hired 700 people in nine months in Twin Falls. The setting was Home Depot. We spoke with a fibre-optic multi-plex installer, could not appear for a job in his profession and therefore Home Depot gave him a lower level jobs at $ 12.00 per hour.

A waste of brain capacity no doubt, but certainly enough to live with the cost of living in Twin Falls, because of low power and water prices really cheap. Twin Falls, Jerome and Gooding had significant growth in housing. One thing that may hurt the area is the move to try to senior citizens from their cars. Seniors are super concerned about the loss of their driver's license, it can be a traumatic experience rival of a lost lover, that is their freedom is over, some would simply rather die, it is that serious as I have spoken with many experienced seniors. They are not in the Gooding Golf Course areas, if they persist. But the area is growing. A few of the outskirt cities are not as a disguise. Burley had recently launched a "Crazy Days" and regatta jet-boat race, which is a good tourist draw locals to help non-profit and retailers. All in all, we saw many good things; ISU Idaho State University, in a 50K-dollar health care system. The many people. Solo Cup employees an additional 68 people after earlier in the year with 100 people. Farm West added 27 people. Davisco hired 10 employees on Monday. Hamilton Manufacturing is recruiting 30 additional workers, but they may have a power problem when prices rise?

Teton Wireless is the establishment of satellite WiFi high-speed Internet networks with points throughout the region to help clean industrial companies in the field. Kodiak Northwest has a new snow removal innovation. And we see how many interesting rear micro market niche producers like; golf swing AIDS, Spider cutter, sugar beet pulp cattle feed, plastic calf cottages, Yo-yos (seriously, that's where they em '), Dome awnings for home, Fish Pumps, Smoked Sausage Basque chorizo (and it is good to), foam boxes for fish, baler twine, etc. So there are some strong niches, to help the area. The Sea-food industry has a bit of discounting because of the slowdown in restaurants, but the sushi is not any fresh in recent times. This has hurt the industry Fresh trout, trout are present in almost all rivers and lakes in ID and those that the processing of fish in the area. The local Chamber of Commerce in Twin Falls had done an excellent job in its recent Hot August Night non-profit fair, where they auctioned off a Jeep, as they profiled local businesses. The Board takes care of local small businesses. Alamlgated Sugar buys more 129,000-pound trucks. S and G Produce builds factories and expanding more than 10% of all possible worlds sugar comes from South ID. Sugar beet growing in ID very well, better than most anywhere. Gooding is also made to the non-profit cooperative efforts with the help of events such as the huge "Spuds festivals." Wendell and Jerome, a vast majority of growth along I-84, as the cities of Buhl, Filer, Castleford, Hagerman.

One violate topic of the region is the beef import taxes by the Japanese and things can be tough, and they are concerned about Mad cow disease, when it comes to the United States. We Japan to knock that right and may increase the duties on something that they sell us. Meanwhile, many debate on WTO issues of genetically modified crops. Super-Corn is a good deal for the world. These issues with genetically modified foods and possibly amending the wild weeds growing in weed killer is not a good debate, because we are talking about corn, Mountain Sun has not grown flowers, pumpkins, squash, blue berries, cranberry has grown in the vicinity of native vegetation . We are not talking about rice. They are already growing all over the world anyway. And we have already modified plants of all types of crossings, the same thing only slowly in the form of the number of generations. Hell we humans are changing the same way by our own melting pot. " Mixing of Asian, Hispanic and Middle East in Los Angeles? What is the difference, Arthur C. Clark predicted in his book "3001:" We are looking all across Asia, which is probably true, since this is how things with 3.5 billion Chinese? The EU and 15 countries are developing criteria and it will probably be where people or consumers have a choice and we will see what they buy? Guaranteed GM will win, as full of people looking for fresh fruit and vegetables. These questions are Putting Things in South ID on a wait and see and causes problems with capitalization.

Even so Twin Falls area has a net gain of jobs, not agriculture. 3750 people went back to work and 3440 lost their jobs in 2003 net profit of 210th It is a slow go, but things are picked up. The increase is mainly due to the growth and construction, most of which is in the field saves the Twin Falls and the new home construction and Jerome Gooding. In Pocatello the steel plant released 40 people, and we see this across the North-West; steel plant closes in OR.

We noted some good renovation of the city on Main Street in Twin Falls. On the "knife-block" she won an award for commitment to historical monuments. As you know, we are very pleased to see areas of the city and revitalize the people back to the community and a place to speak and the setting of the home town meetings seems to be done in talks with locals and thus more power to the people and more reasonable and less linear decision-making as in the suburbs.

There is a bit like a drug problem, ranging from 18-40 and has to do with Crystal Meth. But they seem to have a handle on it with a new drug court program to people or break the addiction, which seems to work and gets people back to work. Fairly good success rate and better than the prisons is also a large employer outside of Boise. 86% of people in this program, in which between 21-40 and were there for substance abuse with Meth. Others include Weed, LSD, heroin, mushrooms, cocaine, ecstasy and three times a drunk driver. A person interview with the local newspaper said he had a construction job and was back on the right track. Downtown Twin Falls is a Bummer to navigate if you are new to the area because if you are looking for a site in the Second and Second Street, it could be one of seven corners? Ouch. Even the older locals laughed when the city council wanted to change, therefore, all named after the founding fathers of the city and the current city leadership? Typical. Either way, it is a harsh treatment, the happiness of the diagonal streets are not in abundance. Twin Falls has 64000 inhabitants, Jerome 18400, 14000 Gooding. Many cities such as .

Burley, Burl and others in the area have a zero or negative growth rate. Twin Falls 1.9%, Jerome 1%, Gooding hard to say rates 1.6%. The jobs in the region seem to be retail, services, farm and Ag Professional and then, in that order. White people make 89%, and the population is only slightly older than in Boise and Nampa or more similar and Lewiston Pocatello; 45-65 age groups represent 20.9% of the population. We have also noticed Carl's Pressure Washing supplies in Idaho Falls has extensive support for the manufacturer and a dealer Landa Steam Cleaner also.

As far as the tourist sights are the cases and in some 530000 visitors stay for the day and the Money each year. The graten employers, we found were the sugar company with 425 persons and is growing (literally), circle a building 325, Clear Springs Foods 430, Dell 700, 216 Independent meat, Glandia Foods 430, 150 Jerome Cheese, Lamb Weston 850 , Magic Valley Medical Center 1115, Seastrom Manufacturing 170, 200 Seneca Foods, 275 spears, 115 Solo Cup. All in all, the field of employment base to drive a strong middle class, as this industry continues its climb to a strong and zureckprallend pounding recovery.
