...”On top of that if you search the web now you’ll find sites holding judgement on rumors that the Huber letter may actually be fraudulent. So I’m not going to change anything until something more concrete comes through. No industry is perfect, ag included, and if something comes along that requires change I’m sure it will happen. I think it’s pretty much common knowledge that there are glyphosate resistant weeds popping up, and as a result weed management is already adjusting by changing up the chemicals and practices we use.”

It may be a fraudulent letter. We’ll have to wait and see if it was the dingbats at it again. I don’t take back anything I’ve said though...we are dealing with evil...DDT.
All I ask is some scientific sources for this purported “new organism.”
I repeat that this would be the biggest biology news in decades, an entirely new form of life! Yet the good doctor just mentions it in passing as convenient ammo in his campaign against the evils of GMO. This is absolutely not the way any real scientist would address the issue.
I would gladly bet a significant sum that the Dr. Don M. Huber of Purdue did not write this letter.
See my post at #68. If I read correctly, other have stated that they thought it was a hoax, and if I read correctly, the USDA has confirmed receipt of the letter, as reported by Reuters. I may have misread, but I think that’s accurate.
