Donald M. Huber is an Emeritus Professor of Botany and Plant Pathology at Purdue University.
In January 2011, Huber sent a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, alerting the federal government to a newly discovered micro-organism that may have the potential to cause infertility and spontaneous abortion in farm animals, raising significant concerns about human health.
The letter described the appearance and prevalence of the unnamed organism may be related to the nation’s over reliance on the weed killer Roundup and/or to something about the genetically engineered Roundup Ready crops, and called on the federal government to immediately stop deregulation of Roundup Ready crops, particularly Roundup Ready alfalfa.
In an interview published in May 2011, Huber said:
The letter to the Secretary wasn't for public dissemination. It was a request for help. It was meant to bring to his attention the things that many of us out in the field, both from the veterinarians and animal producers as well as agronomists, plant pathologists and our crop producers.
