The only GM Alfalfa I know of is AC Grazeland.  It's a non-bloating alfalfa.
Well, I should say a low bloating alfalfa.  Haven't used it, but am
seriously considering planting some in a pasture near my bees for cattle
grazing.  Guess I don't see a problem with it.  GM plants have been around
forever!  Every time you eat a tomato, you're eating some.  Tomatoes were
modified to allow for mechanical picking many many years ago.  Virtually
everything you eat these days has been modified in some fashion.
