We have seven huge USDA Research facilities located thruout the country. Each is based on it's regional attributes. They have been doing great research since the late 1940's. Their work on crop adaptation and selective breeding is famous. Their research on uses of plant products for oils, fiber, and such are also famous.

How redundant do we have to be?

I guess the SEIU and AFSCME have gone into the garden center business. By the time they are finished, corn will be $70 per seed kernel. Every accomplished PHD researcher who works for the USDA research centers will be retired with a watch. Then the famine begins............

Agreed, spending this money like this is like flushing it down a toilet.
