I don't usually post this type of stuff, but this is really important and will negatively affect our organic food 
Genetically-modified (GMO/GE) alfalfa threatens the very fabric of organics, especially organic dairy.
http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/c...lleague_letter
Your congressman has until the end of this week - 48 hours - to sign this letter and join their colleagues in asking Secretary Tom Vilsack to maintain the ban on Monsanto's genetically-modified (GMO) Roundup Ready™ alfalfa. Your voice, and theirs, is important now. Send this letter to them today asking them to do what they can to protect organics, farmers and the environment from this potential disaster. It just takes a moment.
if GE alfalfa is approved:
* GMO/GE Contamination of non-GMO and organic alfalfa crops will occur
* GMO/GE contamination will economically impact small and family farmers
* Foreign export markets will be at risk due to rejection of GMO/GE contaminated products
* Farmers will be forced to use more toxic herbicides to remove old stands of alfalfa
Yet, USDA has decided that these impacts are insignificant and have dismissed the concerns of farmers and consumers in our state.
Please send the letter!
