If there was no Eastern Corn Borer infestation in a certain year would a farmer gain or lose financially by planting BT corn?

He might lose a little bit, but since there is no way to know if there will be an ECB infestation at planting time, he might still be better off to use Bt corn. There is almost always a residual number of corn borer and other insects left in the soil, even after treating a field, so the chances are too high that he might need to spray insecticides to keep the damage down, a much more expensive proposition. Many farmers believe the extra cost to be worth the chance of a low infestation year.
