...is always a good idea and just can't happen often enough.

This just in from the UK (no doubt because, though the findings come from Kansas, you know, the US media is utterly FUBAR.

"Fresh souls in the cornfield! Anthony put them there..."

I thought I was the only one who still listened to that tune. Creepy and bizarre and oddly compelling.

Curiously, I don't beleve the University of Kansas (aka KU) has a Department of Agronomy; that's the sort of program that would be at it's rival school (and my graduate degree alma mater) Kansas State University (aka KSU).

A quick check of the KU website shows no agronomy, though a keyword search turns up plenty of references to work at KSU.

Indeed, the professor named is on the KSU faculty.

So... what else did they get wrong, hmmm?

You might want to glance at, for example, http://www.ppi-ppic.org/ppiweb/bcrops.nsf/$webindex/70ABDB50A75463F085257394001B157F/$file/07-4p12.pdf.

This is just further confirmation that Gordon is at KSU and not KU.

Or were you tring to make a different point?

My point was that it seemed odd to focus on the error of some hapless Indy sub in confusing the U of Kansas with Kansas State University -- fairly easy to do when you're several thousand miles away because Kansas seems, frankly, a bit unimportant at that distance -- and use that trivial error as an excuse to ignore the main burden of the article. As the good prof's cited paper demonstrates, the Indy is in no way misrepresenting his general tenor.
