The I-29ers hydrogen sulfide tests were conducted July 11-13 of this year. The tester was calibrated June 24, 2005 and wasn’t due for recalibration until June 23, 2006. The Argus Leader and other news media were e-mailed copies of the certificate of calibration prior to our testing.

It is outrageous that the Argus Leader would allow Ag United propagandist Steve Dick a Sunday "Readers Forum" to deceive the public when their own staff knew better.
