I grew up in a farm town and my father spent fifty years farming. I have a decent sense of the forces involved.

It doesn't matter if you get more for your product when a) less people care to pay the premium and b) the costs of being certified are that much higher than traditional practice.
There are many forces at work. GMO is hardly the driver. It's a niche issue.
