screener, I know a couple of people at Kansas State and checked with them. Barney Gordon still has funding. Roger Elmore left the University of Nebraska some time ago. He is currently an extension specialist at Iowa State. As far as I know, he still does research.
You really fall into being a conspiracy theorist at times. Why would anyone want to withdraw funding from a scientist whose carefully done research indicated some minor and sometimes occasional effects on yield of herbicide tolerance? Barney Gordon got it right. What matters is not how the crops yield in the absence of weeds, but how they do in the presence of weeds. Weed populations can reduce yields by far more than these small differences.
I wasn’t agreeing with UrbanFarmboy, merely stating that I could see what he was getting at. I agree that gratuitous insults are uncalled for, but every so often it is important to point out the truth, no matter how unpalatable that truth is.
