We examine the correlation between farmers' beliefs and practices regarding GM crops with yield shocks from the previous year the crop was grown. Farmers who may have had poor yields due to weather, were more likely to change adoption decisions. Yields marginally affect farmers' beliefs regarding the EU ban on GMO's, or the adverse environmental affects of GM crops. This behavior is consistent with many known psychological biases.
