The news has come out these past weeks that recent rulings by the United States Department of Agriculture now allow; -the planting of genetically modified alfalfa without any restrictions on where or how much is planted -the planting of genetically modified sugar beets without first completing the environmental assessment ordered by the court -the planting of corn genetically engineered to be converted to ethanol more easily The cover article in this month's issue of Common Ground magazine is about the recent approval of genetically modified alfalfa by the USDA.
