More on the Interference of Congress & Industry Standing in the Way ‘Unfavorable Science’

In the Spring issue of our No-Till Farmer Conservation Tillage Guide, I wrote my “Frankly Speaking” column about Jon Lundgren and his tour of duty as a USDA scientist. The founder of Blue Dasher Farms and the Ecdysis Foundation at Esteline, S. Dak. Lundgren gave up a career path at a USDA scientist due to political pressure. Now free of government and congressional interference, he and his team do independent on-farm regenerative farming studies and analyze data from over 1,000 farmers already using this practice.
