I would refer everyone back to Charles Benbrook's post last week on RR
soybean yield drag. I would like to know how Mr. Glickman figures biotech
is going to feed the hungry world when the mean yields are showing up less
than conventional ones.
A word missing from much of this dialog is "lies". I know it's a fighting
word, but everytime I read these government agent comments, that's the one
word that keeps coming into MY mind!

As far as I can see, the only hunger agricultural biotechnology has the
enormous potential to combat is the greed of the
biotech-pesticide/pharmaceutical industry!!!
