The issue with GMO Alfalfa is containment.
Alfalfa is pollinated by the wind, so if you neighbor plants it upwind of your regular alfalfa, you are likely to end up with cross bred plants. You fields can no longer be GMO free.
Alfalfa is pollinated by bees, not the wind.

_____________________ I agree. This is the point most people don't look at; who owns the alfalfa ?
GMO varieties are patented. You don't just buy seeds with GMO, You rent the ‘intellectual property right’ to grow their variety of a plant.
When all the fields are contaminated, all the alfalfa will contain their patented GMO traits. Every farmer will have no choice but to grow GMO alfalfa and pay the patent owner's price.
“All your alfalfa is belong to me”
