We are often asked if the export market will accept RR alfalfa. The short answer to this question is “not yet!” We know genetically modified alfalfa might be accepted by some governments; however, end-users are making it very clear they do not want this product. At least not right now. Since there is no export demand for RR alfalfa, exporters are not likely to purchase it. Perhaps the export market will follow the lead of the US dairy industry and accept GMO alfalfa in the future. Other GMO commodities seem to be acceptable but not GMO hay. Time will tell. In any event, growers need to disclose to any purchaser if they are selling rr hay. If in doubt, an instant test will determine if a hay stack is genetically modified.
