Here are some responses to Prof. Huber's findings from Monsanto,
another academic and a government regulator:

Excerpts:

"Trish Jordan, a spokesperson for Monsanto Canada, says Huber's
work is often discredited by other academics because it is not indicative
of what would happen in a real world situation. It's an academic
situation, she says, adding a lot of the research was done on fields
predisposed to creating these sorts of issues. "That's not what
growers do," she says.

"Dale Cowan, a senior agronomist with Southern Co-operative
Services, is skeptical of Huber's claims. Yields in corn and soybeans
remain phenomenal, he points out."

"Horst Bohner, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
soybean specialist, notes that other North American researchers
have not been able to reproduce Huber'study results.
To make the general statement that manganese is causing us big,
big problems is absolutely incorrect, Bohner says."
