Background and implications of the case, after the jump In 2004 Monsanto and their partner Forage Genetics petitioned the USDA for the go-ahead to commercially release Roundup Ready alfalfa.
Geertson Seed Farms opposes the commercialization of Roundup Ready alfalfa because the USDA failed to properly consider the environmental impacts and associated economic effects of commercialization.
The deregulation and commercialization of Roundup Ready alfalfa poses significant problems that must be considered and resolved in particular concerning biological contamination and weed resistance development.

and nothing less than obliterate our choice as organic consumers to be assured that we are avoiding genetically modified organisms in our food#The Problem with GE Alfalfa GE (genetically engineered) alfalfa has been modified to resist the effects of the weed killer glyphosate, also known as Roundup.
Alfalfa is a perennial crop that is most commonly grown as animal feed for dairy cows and most other livestock.
alfalfa also grows wild along roadsides throughout the country. The issues with GE alfalfa are numerous:
1. Safe for Human Consumption? First is the question of safety. Genetically engineered crops have not been tested for long-range health effects on humans
and wildlife. 2. Contamination of Non-GE Crops Alfalfa plants are pollinated by bees, most of which can travel
and no insurance policy against damages these farmers suffer as a result of GE alfalfa contamination. According to the Center for Food safety
So those farmers who grow alfalfa to feed their dairy cows, who in turn are there to produce organic milk?
Theyre screwed if their alfalfa has been contaminated. Its no longer organic#under the law. And you and I, organic consumers that we are#were screwed equally because our choices for organic,
non-GMO dairy and meat products is diminished severely. 4. Increased (Not Decreased) Use of Chemical Weedkillers The USDAS own data shows that the adoption of Roundup Ready (GE) alfalfa would trigger a huge increase in the use
GE alfalfa will be sown in fields across the country this spring. There are a few steps we can take to avoid it.
Hes the only one who can immediately prevent GE alfalfa from being planted this year. Food & Water Watch is running a campaign urging people to send letters to the President asking him to step in.
based on what Food safety News recently reported, the White house encouraged Vilsack to go with complete deregulation of GE alfalfa so the administration would appear friendly to big business.#
