Alfalfa is the fourth most widely grown crop in the US and it is the first perennial crop to be genetically engineered.
We have already seen wide-spread contamination of Monsanto's FrankenCrops: Corn and Soy growers have faced Monsanto in lawsuits in which the corporate giant accused farmers of saving seeds. Many of these farmers were harmed by Monsanto's seed crops contaminating their pure-strain crops!
As has been the case in Corn and Soy, GMO-contamination of organic alfalfa fields and organic alfalfa seed production would happen very quickly. Once Monsanto's GMO alfalfa is widely cultivated, it will inevitably contaminate organic alfalfa sprouts and alfalfa hay grown for organic dairy cows as well as other animals.
