### Capital Reporting Company Meeting 02-03-2010

(866) 448 - DEPO www.CapitalReportingCompany.com © 2010 2 1 P R O C E E D I N G S 2 MR. ABEL: Good afternoon. Thank you for 3 coming to this important meeting this afternoon. 4 Today's meeting is the second public meeting to 5 solicit comments from the public on the Animal and 6 Plant Health Inspection Services Draft Environment 7 Impact Statement evaluating the potential 8 environmental impacts of deregulating alfalfa 9 genetically engineered to be resistant to the 10 herbicide glyphosate, also known as commercially 11 Roundup. The GE alfalfa is also commonly referred 12 as Roundup Ready Alfalfa in the EIS. The GE alfalfa 13 variety is also referred to as glyphosate-tolerant 14 or GT alfalfa. 15 APHIS considered two alternatives in the 16 Draft EIS, grant nonregulated status for two lines 17 of Roundup Ready alfalfa or to maintain the status 18 as regulated. APHIS analyzed these alternatives in 19 regard to the potential impacts on gene flow between 20 the Roundup Ready alfalfa and non-GE alfalfa, on 21 weed development, on wildlife species, and on 22 species with special status, also known as 23 endangered or threatened species. 24 The Draft EIS also analyzes the 25 alternatives with regard to their impact on

### Capital Reporting Company Meeting 02-03-2010

(866) 448 - DEPO www.CapitalReportingCompany.com © 2010 3 1 herbicide use, plant species, socioeconomic factors, 2 including conventional and organic alfalfa markets, 3 dairy and beef markets and general trade; human 4 health and safety, land use and production practices 5 and the physical environment including the soil, the 6 climate, air quality and water. 7 The Roundup Ready Alfalfa Draft EIS 8 addresses two aspects of the National Environmental 9 Policy Act implementation: The analysis 10 and consideration of potential impacts of the 11 proposed Federal action and the consideration of a 12 range of alternatives. 13 APHIS prepared this Draft EIS to comply 14 with the February 2007 judgment and order by the 15 United States District Court for the Northern 16 District of California. The Court did not overturn 17 APHIS's 2005 conclusion regarding the safety of 18 Roundup Ready alfalfa for food and meat purposes, 19 but rather concluded that APHIS had not adequately 20 documented the potential or the potential -- or the 21 lack of potential environmental impacts. 22 Based on this the impact analysis in the 23 Draft EIS APHIS has preliminarily concluded that 24 there is no significant impact on environment in 25 granting nonregulated status to Roundup Ready

APHIS 5 must consider all public comments submitted during 6 the comment period before finalizing the EIS or 7 making any final decisions regarding the regulatory 8 status of Roundup Ready alfalfa. The comment period 9 on the draft EIS is 60 days and comments are due by 10 midnight, February 12th, 2010. 11 As part of the public participation 12 process we are having this meeting and other public 13 meetings to solicit comments from the public on the 14 draft EIS. Comments provided today, both verbally 15 and in writing, will be part of the official public 16 record and evaluated in the compilation of the final 17 EIS. 18 While I have a moment here I'd like to 19 take a chance to introduce some of the staff that's 20 with me here today. To my left here is Andi 21 Huberty. She is the branch chief of our regulatory 22 and environmental analysis branch. I got it right. 23 She's also the project lead and the lead scientist 24 on the draft EIS. 25 And then the individual back at the table

### Capital Reporting Company Meeting 02-03-2010

(866) 448 - DEPO www.CapitalReportingCompany.com © 2010 5 1 that you met when you came in the door over there is 2 Rebecca Stankiewicz-Gabel. Rebecca is an 3 environmental protection specialist in our National 4 Environmental Policy Act implementation team. She 5 will also be taking over to finalize the EIS over 6 the next few months I guess, maybe the next six 7 months, depending on how long it takes. 8 Also in the very back of the room, if 9 you'll stand for a moment, is Dave Reinhold. He's 10 the assistant director of the environmental risk 11 analysis program and he's also the lead for the 12 deregulatory implementation team that we just 13 recently established in BRS. 14 And then finally somewhere in the room, 15 there he is, Michael Pina. He is our -- he's our 16 public affairs specialist from our legislative and 17 public affairs division. So if anybody here's from 18 the press or the media, he's here to help you 19 through the process as well. 20 Today we are going to provide you two 21 minutes to present your information. If you missed 22 being asked at the sign in if you wish to present 23 your comment, please do so now at the sign in table. 24 Rebecca will be our timer and will let you know when 25 your two minutes are up. We'd appreciate everyone

Unfortunately 5 even if you are not finished within that time you 6 will -- we will have to move on to the next speaker. 7 We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. 8 When your name is called please come to 9 the front of the room so Rebecca can provide you 10 with a microphone. Please begin by stating and 11 spelling your name for the court reporter and 12 stating the organization that you are representing. 13 Your two minutes begin at this point. 14 If you haven't already done so, please 15 provide Rebecca with a written version of your 16 statement at the end of your two minute time period. 17 If we have time after all our speakers have finished 18 with their remarks we will have an informal poster 19 session in the back of the room. The purpose of the 20 poster session is to answer clarifying questions, 21 not to discuss and debate the issue or analysis of 22 the draft EIS. 23 It's very important to remember that any 24 comments made during this time are not going into 25 the official record. All comments must be provided

And 3 we do have a table in the back of the room where you 4 can write additional comments. 5 So with that I'd like to begin with the 6 first speaker. We're going to take them in order of 7 sign in. The first speaker, Mr. Chuck Essay. If 8 you are here, please come to the microphone at the 9 front of the room. 10 MR. ESSAY: Thank you. I just wanted to - 11 - appreciate our tax dollars are going to a good 12 cause today I feel. 13 MS. STANKIEWICZ-GABEL: Can you speak a 14 little closer to the mic. 15 COURT REPORTER: I also need your name. 16 MR. ESSAY: I'd like to -- okay. Name is 17 Chuck Essay. I'm representing Heartland Nebraska 18 Alfalfa Marketing Association. My wife and I own 19 approximately 1,000 acres of alfalfa we put up for - 20 - we try to put it up for dairy use in the Colorado 21 market. The acreage -- we have 130 acres of Roundup 22 Ready alfalfa, pre-ban that was planted. And we've 23 noticed over the last few years we're getting 15 24 percent more tonnage per acre and our cost of 25 production we feel is 75 percent lower because of

### Capital Reporting Company Meeting 02-03-2010

(866) 448 - DEPO www.CapitalReportingCompany.com © 2010 8 1 the other chemical products we have to put on our 2 other 800 acres of traditional alfalfa, which costs 3 us between 30 and $40 an acre to treat weeds that 4 usually don't carry a suitable season. Where our 5 Roundup seems to take care of them in the spring and 6 we have no weed problems 'til usually the fall of 7 the year. I guess we also feel the herbicide of 8 Roundup Ready is better on the environment also. 9 As far as the water issue, I think we feel 10 Roundup Ready controls more weeds than the 11 traditional herbicides which brings us to use less 12 water when we're producing that just because we're 13 not feeding weeds with our water. And we all are in 14 Box Butte County on a moratorium on our water. 15 We're only allowed to use 16 inches of water a year 16 for four years, which will be up in 2011. And 17 that's my comments. Thank you. 18 MR. ABEL: The next speaker is Jerry 19 Ackerman. 20 MR. ACKERMAN: My name is Jerry Ackerman 21 from Lakefield, Minnesota. And I and my wife 22 produce approximately 350 to 400 acres of alfalfa 23 which we sell commercially. Our main customer is a 24 profitable dairy who produces beef and sheep and 25 also horses.

### Capital Reporting Company Meeting 02-03-2010

(866) 448 - DEPO www.CapitalReportingCompany.com © 2010 9 1 Currently we're going to be seeding 2 approximately 150 acres this spring and we currently 3 have 55 acres of that Roundup Ready alfalfa that was 4 planted before the ban. This spring when we seed 5 we're not going to be able to use Roundup, so we'll 6 have to use other herbicides and they stunt the 7 alfalfa and we still have a weed problem. With the 8 Roundup does take out those weeds. 9 So my first cutting of alfalfa is 10 basically going to go to probably a beef producer 11 who will grind it up and mix it with other 12 ingredients, so it's not going to be top quality. 13 That's probably going to cost me about $100 an acre 14 just in the loss on that first cutting. 15 Now, I understand there are concerns about 16 Roundup Ready alfalfa getting mixed with other 17 alfalfa. But most growers cut their alfalfa in the 18 bud stage or, you know, early bloom and I really 19 don't know of any producers who let it go to seed. 20 And I think, at least I've talked with all of our 21 customers and asked if there was a preference, you 22 know, Roundup Ready or non Roundup Ready. They've 23 said we don't care as long as it's weed free. 24 I think, yes, the growers and the 25 regulators can work together because neighbors

And I thank you for listening to my 4 comments. 5 MR. ABEL: Thank you, Mr. Ackerman. The 6 next speaker is Steven Rice. 7 MR. RICE: My name is Steve Rice. I'm in a 8 partnership with my brother in Wilsonville, Nebraska 9 in Furnas County. We grow approximately 1500 acres 10 of alfalfa and we cut four to five times a year. We 11 have about 200 acres of Roundup Ready alfalfa that 12 we planted before it was taken off the market. And 13 in that first year we sprayed Roundup Ready alfalfa 14 one time and it took care of the weed issues that we 15 had completely for two years. We did not treat that 16 at all. 17 In retrospect, if you look at what we had 18 to do with our normal alfalfa, we spray actually 40 19 to $50 worth of herbicide every year and it doesn't 20 carry through the end of the year. Our top quality 21 alfalfa is our regular cuttings and we have had to 22 abandon some fields because of hybrid pigweed or 23 water hemp that we do not have a herbicide that 24 would control that weed. 25 If you lose the top quality cuttings

You can't afford not to have -- usually to 3 clean up that stand of alfalfa to get the top dollar 4 and get the total control. It gives my customers a 5 better product, a more powerful, a more desirable 6 product, so it works not only for me economically, 7 it works for them economically. Thank you. 8 MR. ABEL: Thank you, Mr. Rice. Our next 9 speaker then will be Scott Gaites. 10 MR. GAITES: My name is Scott Gaites. My 11 wife and I farm in central Nebraska. Currently I 12 have 150 acres planted to alfalfa and that is 13 planted to Roundup Ready alfalfa. 14 I wouldn't have been able to plant the 15 alfalfa, the normal variety because the first 16 cutting is about 25 percent of my total production 17 for the year. And if it would've had the weeds in 18 it I would've got about half of what I got out of it 19 selling it as clean hay. 20 And when I sprayed it the first time the 21 weeds were about a foot and a half tall and the 22 alfalfa was about 12 inches tall and it just cleaned 23 it up. In two weeks it looked like a fourth cutting 24 stand. 25 And I'm looking at planting another field

ABEL: Thank you, Mr. Gaites. Our 5 next speaker, Paul Meyer. 6 MR. MEYER: I am Paul Meyer. That's 7 spelled P-a-u-l M-e-y-e-r. I'm an independent 8 alfalfa producer from West Point, Nebraska. West 9 Point is in Cumming County. And Cumming County 10 happens to be one of the most livestock intensive 11 counties in the United States. 12 We are part of a diversified livestock 13 intense, corn, soybean and some alfalfa rotation in 14 that county. And the amount of nutrients that are 15 being recycled through the manure to the corn and 16 soybeans and to the alfalfa of course present some 17 weed problems. And the biotechnology that we have 18 used in the corn and soybeans, then were able to use 19 for a little while in those alfalfa acres were a 20 tremendous benefit to allow us to raise higher 21 quality alfalfa and higher quality forages and 22 enable us to increase the income off of those 23 seeding acres that are discouraging some producers 24 from planting alfalfa. Because unless you can get 25 high quality hay and increase your tonnage off of

I don't see that it's going to be a problem. 13 You know, you hear all kinds of stories 14 about how this is bad and that's bad, but I think 15 there's been enough science put forth that it's 16 going to enable us to use all of these different 17 tools to produce quality food products. 18 MR. ABEL: Thank you, Mr. Meyer. Our next 19 speaker will be Dale Strickler. 20 MR. STRICKLER: I am Dale Strickler. I am 21 a small rancher in north central Kansas. And I 22 could speak about what Roundup Ready alfalfa from my 23 operation, but there's a much bigger issue. 24 I'm a human being. I live on a planet 25 where 20 million people die each year of

(866) 448 - DEPO www.CapitalReportingCompany.com © 2010 14 1 malnutrition. 85 percent of those, according to the 2 United Nations, are children under the age of five. 3 80 percent of those die from lack of dietary 4 protein. 5 Alfalfa, as a plant, produces more protein 6 per unit land mass than any other plant on the face 7 of the earth. That's why we grow it. But it's not 8 directly edible to humans, so we have to run it 9 through livestock in order to convert it into a 10 human edible form. There's a problem with that. If 11 you graze livestock directly on it it causes bloat. 12 It can be fatal to livestock. 13 So the use of alfalfa, the world's most 14 productive per acre protein plant, is limited to the 15 countries where people own swathers and balers. 16 Now, however under development is 17 genetically modified alfalfa that doesn't cause 18 bloat. This would allow the use of alfalfa to be 19 expanded to sub Saharan African and other places 20 around the world where protein deficiency is most 21 rampant. 22 My concern about Roundup Ready alfalfa, 23 this is the first of a number of traits coming along 24 that can provide the solution to curing world 25 hunger. Only in a country where obesity is rampant

ABEL: Thank you, Mr. Strickler. Our 6 next speaker then will be Mr. Keith Kennedy. 7 MR. KENNEDY: Keith Kennedy with the 8 Wyoming Ag Business Association and also with the 9 Wyoming Crop Improvement Association. And in that 10 regard I represent almost 60 farmers who grow nearly 11 17,000 acres of seed alfalfa every year. We support 12 the preferred alternative in the draft EIS regarding 13 Roundup Ready alfalfa and would appreciate the 14 agency moving rapidly toward publication of the 15 final EIS after due consideration and pertinent 16 science based comments. 17 Alfalfa farmers deserve to have the same 18 range of choices that are available to other farmers 19 around the world in crops such as soy beans, corn, 20 cotton and canola. We also appreciate the Agency's 21 efforts regarding 7 CFR 340 and would urge the 22 agency to further consider modifications in the 23 existing rule that would consider how the agency 24 evaluates advances that have or may be approved in 25 other countries prior to their entering the U.S.

We sprayed once in the 25 third year and I bordered the fields last year.

And they said, good, clean hay. I haven't 11 had anybody turn down Roundup Ready hay. They enjoy 12 the weed free qualities of hay that we produce. 13 I believe this technology can coexist 14 peacefully with the organic growers. I also believe 15 that this technology is important to the industry 16 and should be made available with the due caution 17 that we've shown so far and you've shown going 18 through the lengthy process of developing an EIS 19 study for it. 20 I think this will benefit growers that 21 grow alfalfa and I, with the previous speaker, don't 22 believe everybody will grow Roundup Ready alfalfa, 23 but I believe it's important to have it available to 24 those growers that wish to use it. And I believe it 25 can peacefully coexist with the other technologies

We live near 6 Miller, Nebraska and my farming operation is located 7 in Butler County, Nebraska. Our principal crops are 8 alfalfa, corn, soybeans and we also operate a 9 cow/calf herd of livestock. 10 My alfalfa production is shipped to dairy 11 and beef markets throughout the eastern United 12 States, as well as fed to my own herd. I would very 13 much like to see the Roundup tolerant alfalfa 14 commercialized. For my operation it allows better 15 weed control and it solved some of the problems I 16 had with timing of application in the current 17 herbicides available. Current chemicals often 18 require treatment prior to breaking dormancy and 19 Roundup allows a more timely application without the 20 possible hit and miss with early spring window. 21 I would also use this product to produce a 22 higher quality product which would save water by 23 eliminating the use -- by eliminating the use of 24 this resource by undesirable weeds. 25 I'm the fourth generation to farm the
