Favorable court rulings may have left the impression that organic farms were safe from contamination by genetically engineered (GE) alfalfa, but that is not the case.

In 2010, the Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) needed to conduct a review of the potential environmental impact of GE alfalfa, but according to our friend Katy Kiefer at Food & Water Watch, "USDA has rushed through this process because big agribusiness wants to be allowed to plant GE alfalfa this spring."

Katy says, "GE alfalfa is likely to contaminate other crops, including organic alfalfa. Organic dairies need organic alfalfa as feed for their cows, and organic standards don't allow the use of GE crops. Contamination of organic crops from GE crops can destroy markets for organic farmers."

Millions of American families have made it crystal clear through their shopping choices that they want organic milk for their children. A message needs to be sent to President Obama that our children's health is more important than increasing the profits of Monsanto, a multi-billion dollar corporation.
