It was nice to see something like this in a mainstream news outlet. It
is going to take a lot of work to fix our messed up Ag. industry and
it's good to see that someone is working on the problem. It is just a
little depressing that so many people in our government are working
against them.

With big government firmly in the pockets of big Ag. and Bio-tech
(they are all happy to see each other), and considering Obama's pick
for Secretary of Ag., it seems that the political situation is only
worsening.
