The Hudson Institute also has a long history of reporting misinformation -
and, as we know, the American public has been easily duped before - so I
guess we have more work to do to combat purposeful misinformation.

Rodale is not touting conventional systems, the Hudson Institute is and
it is using an abstract from Cornell U/Rodale to "prove" their point.

the Hudson institute has a long career of bashing organic agriculture.
generally these pieces are written by Dennis Avery or His Son. I notice
this piece has no byline and i wonder does the Hudson Institute have
another anti-organic ag writer?
