Maybe to give it better taste that regular tuna.

I believe your are talking about the regulation in Iowa that disallows the application of manure to ground the year before the production of Soybeans. Since the Soybeans require less nutrients that corn the application of manure MAY result in leaching of nutrients into the drainage system.

Not much new in the above article but the posts from Bill Freese in the Comment section below the article are well worth the read.

I found this part interesting:

In a 2008 study evaluating the chances of a Roundup Ready alfalfa seed crop contaminating a non-Roundup Ready hay crop (the seed-to-hay scenario), Putnam found that when the crops are a modest 160 feet apart the rate of successful gene flow from GM seed crop to non-GM hay crop was a mere 0.25 percent. (Hay-to hay, rather than seed-to-hay, is the most common situation—but the chances of contamination in that scenario appear to be even lower.)​
