Norman Borlaug is undoubtedly one of the most important men of the 20th century. His pioneering work in agricultural productivity may have been responsible for the saving of a
BILLION lives since the '60s. Yet the environmentalists continue to obstruct him at every turn. Is there any question who values human life more?
And before anyone gets snippy about posting an article that's 2 years old, I just came across it when looking for information on the number of lives that have been lost from the banning of DDT. And I figured since I can't recall ever seeing Borlaug discussed around here, this would be a good opportunity to get his name out.

Thanx Tom, for posting this.
Great info. Down to Earth common sense from a native Iowan at A & M.
As a History reader, I have been amazed at the fools who haven't connected scientific farming and cheap food with increased lifespan.
