Did they conjure the information out of thin air? Editorial opinions? You need to ask?
Yes, because in most editorials the writer has an ideological outlook (liberal, conservative, radical, feminist, etc.) to slant an opinion.
What is the motivation on this topic? A dislike of organic farmers?
Again, what would be the basis for the Star-Advertiser to fabricate such a statement pertaining to the prevalence on rodents on organic farms? My sense is that that they got the data from a Dept. of Ag. fact sheet, or something similar.
I will be honest: I have been looking for it and have not found it. So it seems we are stalemated.
But my sense is that at some point a reader with some expertise in the topic will post the facts.
