Conventional and organic farmers who raise or plan to raise alfalfa can now call a toll-free number at the USDA to determine if nearby fields are planted with GM alfalfa. The USDA is providing a list of states and counties in which Roundup Ready alfalfa is grown as part of a court order which vacated USDA's 2005 decision to deregulate Roundup Ready alfalfa. The toll-free line can be accessed by calling 1-866-724-6408.
