Urgent: USDA to rule on mutant alfalfa

Share on Facebook.

UPDATE: DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 3RD!  PLEASE SIGN NOW AND PASS IT ON!

The USDA is well on its way to approving Monsanto's genetically modified alfalfa.  In its own report, the USDA says that not enough consumers care enough about organic foods for the USDA to block Monsanto's modified alfalfa seeds. [1]

The USDA has extended the comment period to March 3rd.  We need you to write to the USDA right now and tell them they must not approve Monsanto's mutant alfalfa. [2]  We'll deliver your comments before the deadline.

If the USDA lets Monsanto sell its new alfalfa, it will inevitably overtake organic alfalfa crops through the natural pollination process. [3] As a result organic farmers may be feeding their cows genetically modified food.  Learn more about Genetically Modified Alfalfa here.

Monsanto's domination of our food must stop.  For the USDA to shrug it off like nobody cares is to add insult to injury. We only have two weeks to submit our comments.  Add yours below.

Let's show the USDA and Monsanto that people want food free from Monsanto's modifications. Write your comments to the USDA now and say no to genetically modified alfalfa.
