Dear Sustainable Ag Network Subscribers:

How did you all react to the "All Things Considered piece on Monsanto?" =

My reaction was that the Monsanto PR dept had a big hand in it. =
Interesting that Clinton is going to give Fraley (former PR man for =
Monsanto) a medal. Ouch!=20

I have to wonder if tommorow's part 2 will incorporate a serious =
consideration of concerns about the effects of bt GM plants on the =
organic farming sector. It seems pretty irresponsible reporting if Dan =
Charles (NPR reporter) hasn't talked to Charles Benbrook (for example).=20
