Bob Nielson Purdue Agronomy discuses how to sort out the facts vs. crap. He specifically talks about corn seed advertising. But the method could be used else ware.
Thanks a million cutworm.
Wonderful discussion on a topic that YOU and our producers are the experts on and is way over my pay grade but his points hit upon some universal truths that apply everywhere.
In addition to what this smart man says about critical thinking, trying to use the scientific method(attempting to prove yourself wrong......so that you have confidence that you are right) is something I try to do to lessen the human nature caused cognitive bias that we all have in us.
Our producers will especially appreciate this video. I'm going to copy it also on the trading forum, for the ones that don't hang out on the NTR forum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_the_Kool-Aid
"Drinking the Kool-Aid" is an expression used to refer to a person who believes in a possibly doomed or dangerous idea because of perceived potential high rewards. The phrase often carries a negative connotation. It can also be used ironically or humorously to refer to accepting an idea or changing a preference due to popularity, peer pressure, or persuasion. In recent years it has evolved further to mean extreme dedication to a cause or purpose, so extreme that one would "drink the Kool-Aid" and die for the cause.
The phrase originates from events in Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978, in which over 900 members of the Peoples Temple movement died. The movement's leader, Jim Jones, called a mass meeting at the Jonestown pavilion after the murder of U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan and others in nearby Port Kaituma. Jones proposed "revolutionary suicide" by way of ingesting a powdered drink mix lethally laced with cyanide and other drugs which had been prepared by his aides.[1][2]
