Of the surveyed farmers who planted GM alfalfa, 90% said they were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the technology and even that the technology exceeded their expectations. The most cited negative among farmers was the higher cost of biotech seed. Also, the cost of the seed, along with the philosophical opposition to genetic engineering and adherence to organic production are the top three reasons for farmers not using this variety of legume. However, of the farmers who do not use the transgenic variety, two thirds consider that its cultivation should be allowed without restrictions. Still, more than half of the farmers who grew biotech alfalfa said they were taking some precautions to avoid cross-pollination, such as cutting, safe distances, coordinating cutting times and cleaning equipment.
