For the first time in history, a Federal Court has ruled that the USDA has illegally approved a genetically engineered crop. A California judge has ruled that the USDA, which approved the sale of genetically engineered alfalfa for 2007, did not conduct adequate environmental impact studies. The judge said approval of this new biotech crop has a high potential of destroying conventional and organic alfalfa farms. "We applaud the decision of the Court," said Bill Wenzel of the National Family Farm Coalition. "It's unfortunate that we have to turn to judges to do what's right for farmers while the USDA carries water for the biotech companies." Pat Trask, a South Dakota alfalfa grower and plaintiff in the case stated, "It's a great day for God's own alfalfa."
