The resolutions in Becket, Great Barrington and Savoy all call for legislation in state and federal government that would institute a moratorium on the use of the seed and clear labels that identify both genetically engineered seeds and the food produced by it, and for protection of farmers from lawsuits by companies that own patents to the genetic engineering. Three other Berkshire County towns — Windsor, Sandisfield and Williamstown — have passed similar resolutions in the past four years. A total of 21 Massachusetts towns have passed the resolution, and another nine are considering it this year.
