Pros
It was a great place before Rhines took over.
Cons
Everything.
Research Institute? But they do no research.
Help farmers and ranchers? But they charge for services that used to be free. Producers can get much better information and help from OSU Extension - for free.
It seems to only be an institution to give a few "leaders" a cushy job. No one, even the "leaders", seem to know what the purpose of the Noble Research Institute is. It has no purpose. It has no use. It has no future.
