Who plants alfalfa? Where are the RoundUp Ready Alfalfa growers in relation to the non-RRA conventional, organic and biodynamic growers who will inevitably be contaminated by genetically polluted drift, bees and other pollinating insects, resulting in the loss of their certifications and eliminating an important feed for organic dairy cows? Aside from the obvious health implications, this is an economic issue that will further strain rural America. Get on the map so that together we can collect data now and if planted, monitor contamination as it spreads. We will collate the information gathered from this easy to use mapping device to a more sophisticated interpretive mapping technology.</span></strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.nass.usda.gov/Charts_and_Maps/Crops_County/index.asp#al">http://www.nass.usda.gov/Charts_and_Maps/Crops_County/index.asp#al</a></p> </span></strong></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="http://www.nass.usda.gov/Charts_and_Maps/Crops_County/images/AL-HA09-RGBChor.gif" alt="Alfalfa Hay: Harvested Acreage by County" width="668" height="511" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
