Refuge-compliance revisited (quiz):

As a follow-up to the data cited in #msg-43301160, MON implicitly revealed that farmers’ cheating on the refuge requirement for corn is commonplace—at least in the Southern US cotton belt where the required corn refuge (for VT Triple Pro) is 50%.

How did I draw the inference that cheating is commonplace? I’ll make the answer a quiz :- )
