Dr. Don Huber talks about his career as a researcher, professor and Army officer, as well as about the many long-term dangers of glyphosate — as a mineral chelator, as an antibiotic, as a cause of plant disease, and more

Acres U.S.A. You’ve been speaking at the Acres U.S.A. conference for years, but people probably don’t know your whole background. You taught at Purdue, but where did you actually grow up?

Don Huber. I grew up in Arizona and in Idaho on dairy farms, after World War II. We wanted to expand and didn’t feel like the opportunities were there at the time in Arizona for either good land or water supply. So, we moved the dairy from Arizona to Idaho. As a freshman in high school, I rode a freight train with my father for six days, right before Christmas, to arrive in Idaho with a hundred head of heifers and four or five milk cows, to start our dairy in Idaho. I got well acquainted with those cows, being boxed up for six days with them. We had five cows milking while we were feeding calves, trying to move as much of the genetic stock as we could to start our new dairy in Idaho.
