Did you manage to track any kind of data on how many people used your form / suggested mail?

I’m in two camps here – and I have to say that I work in GM.

I hate the bad science that usually goes along with anti-GM stories, but there are times when even I’m amazed at the minimal testing before a crop is set live outwith the lab.

GMO alfalfa seed might already be getting put on trucks to go to farms to be planted this spring.

Unless there is an immediate court-ordered injunction suspending any follow-through from the USDA announcement deregulating GMO alfalfa, we must consider direct action and non-violent civil disobedience.

Monsanto’s partner in developing GMO alfalfa is Forage Genetics International based in Nampa Idaho (apparently owned by Land O Lakes).

Where are the stores of seed for GMO alfalfa located? Let’s find them and sit down in front of the gates so the trucks can’t get out. Does anybody know where the seeds are?

Anyone agree we should consider this?

Just want to point out that GE seed is not the only seed type available to farmers. It is the most common and probably the cheapest, but not the only available stock. There are many heirloom seed banks spread throughout the US. Bountiful Gardens is one that is based out of CA but delivers nationally.
