alfalfa is feeding animals so we can have more meat I am more concerned about GM alfalfa's effect on the dairy industry than on the beef side. GM alfalfa in the dairy food chain has huge implications for organic labeling. One of the things I considered putting in the main post, but took out because it felt far too much like editorializing, is that Monsanto has licensed the Roundup Ready alfalfa patent to a company called Forage Genetics International, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Land O' Lakes. Land O' Lakes, which you may know primarily as a butter company, processes 12 billion gallons of milk a year into a variety of dairy products sold in all US states and internationally.
