Court Amends May 2007 Judgment on RR Alfalfa
August 24, 2007 |
- Handling, identification, and containment standards for Roundup Ready Alfalfa shall not be applied to RRA hay, unless that hay leaves its farm of origin;
- The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) shall publish and distribute a best practices guide for the cleaning of equipment used to produce RRA hay and seed;
- Monsanto and Forage Genetics must provide APHIS with the RRA field location information described therein; and
- APHIS should disclose RRA location information on its website “as soon as practicable.”
APHIS recently announced that alfalfa growers can now obtain information on RRA field locations through a new toll-free number. The hotline may be used by conventional or organic alfalfa farmers and prospective alfalfa farmers to inquire about the proximity of their farms to RRA fields.
