OK, From the Comments

Here is a comment & my response: Anyone else want to get in on the action?

I can't believe there isn't a lot more noise about the proposed closing of the experiment farm by the University of Wisconsin. This from a Democratic pro education administration. If I could spell apocalyptic, I would say that our local environmental college, professional educators (at least those who can break out of their self pity),economic development people and local politicians should be apocalyptic about this. I hope that I am wrong and there is a huge protest on July 13 at the experiment farm.

You know, I need to ask what the Experimental Farm has done for me lately? I mean, all I can remember, yes, I'm in my pre-geezerhood, is that they planted a bunch of hybrid poplars that are supposed to make loggers salivate. I haven't heard much from the loggers supporting the farm? But I do see the value in research, & I would support the research farm for that reason. But it seems as if the UW faculty has no interest in doing any research up here. Why would that be? It seems to me that the supporters of the farm need to enlist the faculty of both the UW & maybe Northland, I know, that is too much to hope for. Otherwise, who would do the research? The intelligent design folks?
