Hi all
I think we are starting to put the carthorse back in front of the cart. Too
many seem to want the anwsers first.

Sir, I am in perfect agreement with you on this subject.
 - I am not in a position to initiate research projects, and I do not
understand why
others have not. These opinions are my own, and do not reflect the views or
policies
of the USDA.

I reply
To make conclusions...We need data.
To get data...We need research.
Why is this research not forthcoming?
Do we know who is in a position to instigate research?
When I was in business, I would have picked this one up and run with it.
