US industry groups support GM alfalfa
Four US industry bodies have lodged support for Monsanto’s appeal to the Supreme Court to review the ban on genetically modified glyphosate-tolerant alfalfa. The American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Corn Growers Association, the Biotechnology Industry Organization and the American Seed Trade Association have filed a “friend-of-the-court” brief. Monsanto, Forage Genetics and two alfalfa growers took the case to the Supreme Court in October.
