Dean, this is a group that works on agricultural policy and related issues
from a sustainable agriculture perspective. They are dedicated, hard
working, honest people and you will not be taken for a ride. I was on
their board for six years. I am telling you this so that you have some
sense of my experience with them. They are not deep in cash and funding
for them is usually a problem. If all groups were as ethical as the Henry
A. Wallace Institute the world would be a much better place.
