Pat Trask Quotations

Our belief is that there seems to be an increasingly frequent systemic lack of objectivity in a lot of the regulatory decisions that are flowing from USDA.

The way this spreads so far and wide, it will eliminate the conventional alfalfa industry. Monsanto will own the entire alfalfa industry.

I'm outraged that a genetically engineered alfalfa will contaminate the South Dakota alfalfa seed that has been developed over generations. Bees pollinate alfalfa, and we know that bees can forage for miles. The introduction of genetically engineered alfalfa practically guarantees that there will be no genetically engineered-free seed in a matter of a few years.

It's the desire of Monsanto to pursue global control and total control over the American alfalfa seed industry.

There's a pattern that is noxious and toxic to the traditional American way of life. This is not good for American people. You're losing food safety and property rights simultaneously. And the beneficiaries of this are not human beings with a conscious. They're corporate boardroom financial reports.
