Police recorded many of the farming activities but otherwise allowed the group’s plans to proceed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists, who say the land should be protected as open space and used for a community farm, weeded the property, tilled the soil and brought in farming equipment and hay bales to prepare rows for seedlings. An estimated 40-50 camped at the site overnight Saturday, but the group said its plans included just a short-term occupation over the weekend to set up the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The university chose to remove the trespassers in a safe situation that would cause the least disruption to the community,” said Holmes on Monday. The land the activists cleared and planted over the weekend is the former site of World War II barracks and student housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police will continue to monitor the area throughout Monday morning as members of the group remove their personal items and planting materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the same group occupied a nearby parcel, southwest of Buchanan Street and San Pablo Avenue, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/05/10/urban-farmers-plan-short-form-gill-tract-occupation/www.berkeleyside.com/tag/gill-tract/\">last year in April for several weeks\u003c/a>.

The counter-protesters, all of whom were Albany residents, carried signs and rode bicycles around San Pablo, University Village and Buchanan to communicate their message to activists and members of the media in attendance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holmes said Sunday that the university had received multiple letters from residents in Albany last week “who were basically saying to us: ‘Please don’t let this happen again. We really don’t want these people in our city. We hope that you will take swift action to not have an occupation happen. That’s the predominant sentiment from the people who have been in touch with the university.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saturday, the level of enthusiasm among activists was high. Some activists played music and sang, as others worked the land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupy the Farm spokesman Matthew McHale said the land should be protected as an educational resource “not only as a place to grow food, but also as a local food system resource for education to educate kids and get them energized and engaged, and as a place for UC to do much-needed research into urban agriculture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley last year said it plans to create an urban farming program that’s centered in part at the Gill Tract agricultural research field, just north of another fenced area near Monroe on the other side of Village Creek. But McHale said, as far as Occupy the Farm is concerned, the university isn’t going far enough with it’s plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to preserve as much as possible,” he said. “We don’t want the development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":null,"status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1368490907,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":24,"wordCount":1089},"headData":{"title":"Police Raid Removes Occupy Protesters from UC Tract in Albany; Four Arrests | KQED","description":"by Emilie Raguso, Berkeleyside Update, 1:42 p.m. A UC Berkeley spokeswoman said four people were arrested Monday as the university resumed control of land in Albany’s University Village that had been taken over by Occupy the Farm activists who said they want to turn the land into an urban farm.

The university has been working for five years with the city of Albany to develop the land into a mixed-use project that’s set to include senior housing south of Monroe and a grocery store north of Monroe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police presence over the weekend was minimal, with officers giving regular admonitions to activists that they were trespassing and could face arrest if they refused to leave. Police recorded many of the farming activities but otherwise allowed the group’s plans to proceed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists, who say the land should be protected as open space and used for a community farm, weeded the property, tilled the soil and brought in farming equipment and hay bales to prepare rows for seedlings. An estimated 40-50 camped at the site overnight Saturday, but the group said its plans included just a short-term occupation over the weekend to set up the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The university chose to remove the trespassers in a safe situation that would cause the least disruption to the community,” said Holmes on Monday. The land the activists cleared and planted over the weekend is the former site of World War II barracks and student housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police will continue to monitor the area throughout Monday morning as members of the group remove their personal items and planting materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the same group occupied a nearby parcel, southwest of Buchanan Street and San Pablo Avenue, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/05/10/urban-farmers-plan-short-form-gill-tract-occupation/www.berkeleyside.com/tag/gill-tract/\">last year in April for several weeks\u003c/a>.

The counter-protesters, all of whom were Albany residents, carried signs and rode bicycles around San Pablo, University Village and Buchanan to communicate their message to activists and members of the media in attendance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holmes said Sunday that the university had received multiple letters from residents in Albany last week “who were basically saying to us: ‘Please don’t let this happen again. We really don’t want these people in our city. We hope that you will take swift action to not have an occupation happen. That’s the predominant sentiment from the people who have been in touch with the university.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saturday, the level of enthusiasm among activists was high. Some activists played music and sang, as others worked the land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupy the Farm spokesman Matthew McHale said the land should be protected as an educational resource “not only as a place to grow food, but also as a local food system resource for education to educate kids and get them energized and engaged, and as a place for UC to do much-needed research into urban agriculture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley last year said it plans to create an urban farming program that’s centered in part at the Gill Tract agricultural research field, just north of another fenced area near Monroe on the other side of Village Creek. But McHale said, as far as Occupy the Farm is concerned, the university isn’t going far enough with it’s plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to preserve as much as possible,” he said. “We don’t want the development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/96981/reports-police-raids-remove-occupy-the-farm-protestors","authors":["236"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_18540","news_8"],"tags":["news_2514","news_2854"],"label":"news_6944"},"news_65196":{"type":"posts","id":"news_65196","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"65196","score":null,"sort":[1337029215000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"police-move-in-on-gill-tract-to-break-up-occupy-the-farm","title":"Police Raid Occupy the Farm, Arrest 9","publishDate":1337029215,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Police Raid Occupy the Farm, Arrest 9 | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2:00 p.m. \u003c/strong> From AP:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>ALBANY, Calif.

The purpose of today’s action is to ensure our faculty and students can conduct the research projects to which they have devoted much of their academic and professional lives. Over the course of the last three weeks we have consistently stated that the field must be prepared for research crops by the middle of May, and we simply cannot wait any longer lest our faculty and students lose a full year of work. As the dean of our College of Natural Resources, Keith Gilless, has made clear, you simply can’t engage in meticulous plant research with dozens of uninvited, untrained and unsupervised “guests” roaming around what is an open-air laboratory, doing what ever they please.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We did not come to this decision lightly. Despite growing concern and demands for action emanating from our faculty and neighbors, we have patiently tried to engage the occupiers in discourse that could have led to a very different outcome. Dean Gillless has been down to the tract on numerous occasions to speak with the occupiers, we met with their representatives and attorney, and continued to present ideas that would have allowed for a peaceful resolution. We also offered a proposal that would have addressed the shared interests of the campus, the surrounding community and at least those members of the occupation group who claimed that their actions were solely about the establishment of urban agriculture on the tract. Early on we made it very clear that there was room for both research and urban agriculture, and asked only that the occupiers vacate our land and return full control and supervision of the property to the campus. We also promised to cease efforts to pursue criminal charges and/or civil litigation if they would only leave and refrain from unauthorized entry onto our land. This gradual approach reflected a genuine effort on our behalf to reach a peaceful conclusion that would allow our research to re-start while establishing a dialogue with all interested parties concerning how the unused portion of the land could be repurposed. At every step of the way our efforts were either rejected or ignored, and sadly we have now run out of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday morning Dean Gilless organized a meeting to begin discussions about models for a community partnership that would support and sustain urban agriculture on the Gill Tract. Representatives of the occupation were invited to attend if they would simply meet our minimal conditions that would have allowed research to commence this week. They refused, offering a variety of excuses, including the claim that they wouldn’t participate in a “super secret” meeting attended by members of the Albany and University Village communities, along with representatives of non-profits involved in urban agriculture, the City of Albany, the Albany schools, the USDA, the UC Cooperative Extension, as well as faculty members and a journalist. We remain mystified and disappointed that the occupiers just could not take “yes” for an answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Saturday’s meeting was but a preliminary step. As Dean Gilless stated in an open letter issued after the meeting, “I am committed to facilitating an effective partnership between my College and the community around how urban agriculture and research can go beyond mere co-existence.” Going forward, we are committed to the broadest possible participation in the discussions about, and implementation of that partnership. In so far as the short- and long-term future of the land is concerned, we will continue the collaboration that has characterized our relationship with the Albany community in all matters related to future use of this property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, there have been some acts of vandalism to fences and signs at the Gill Tract, and we will need to ascertain if there has been any serious damage to ongoing projects, or cleanup that will further delay research operations. In the days ahead we will be assessing that damage and the required repairs, even as we work to preserve the crops planted by the occupiers where there is no conflict with our research needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This statement, like every previous message, is the result of a careful, broad-based decision-making process that includes senior administration leaders, the chair of our Academic Senate and other members of faculty, the deans of the College of Natural Resources and the Graduate Division, UCPD, Student Affairs and Community Relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Breslauer\u003cbr>\nExecutive Vice Chancellor and Provost\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> John Wilton\u003cbr>\nVice Chancellor, Administration and Finance\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":null,"status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1685488995,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":true,"iframeSrcs":["http://www.coveritlive.com/index2.php/option=com_altcaster/task=viewaltcast/altcast_code=dfa0fdf2e5/height=550/width=470"],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":36,"wordCount":1758},"headData":{"title":"Police Raid Occupy the Farm, Arrest 9 | KQED","description":"Update 2:00 p.m. From AP: ALBANY, Calif.

Representatives of the occupation were invited to attend if they would simply meet our minimal conditions that would have allowed research to commence this week. They refused, offering a variety of excuses, including the claim that they wouldn’t participate in a “super secret” meeting attended by members of the Albany and University Village communities, along with representatives of non-profits involved in urban agriculture, the City of Albany, the Albany schools, the USDA, the UC Cooperative Extension, as well as faculty members and a journalist. We remain mystified and disappointed that the occupiers just could not take “yes” for an answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Saturday’s meeting was but a preliminary step. As Dean Gilless stated in an open letter issued after the meeting, “I am committed to facilitating an effective partnership between my College and the community around how urban agriculture and research can go beyond mere co-existence.” Going forward, we are committed to the broadest possible participation in the discussions about, and implementation of that partnership. In so far as the short- and long-term future of the land is concerned, we will continue the collaboration that has characterized our relationship with the Albany community in all matters related to future use of this property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, there have been some acts of vandalism to fences and signs at the Gill Tract, and we will need to ascertain if there has been any serious damage to ongoing projects, or cleanup that will further delay research operations. In the days ahead we will be assessing that damage and the required repairs, even as we work to preserve the crops planted by the occupiers where there is no conflict with our research needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This statement, like every previous message, is the result of a careful, broad-based decision-making process that includes senior administration leaders, the chair of our Academic Senate and other members of faculty, the deans of the College of Natural Resources and the Graduate Division, UCPD, Student Affairs and Community Relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Breslauer\u003cbr>\nExecutive Vice Chancellor and Provost\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> John Wilton\u003cbr>\nVice Chancellor, Administration and Finance\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/65196/police-move-in-on-gill-tract-to-break-up-occupy-the-farm","authors":["80"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_18540","news_8"],"tags":["news_333","news_2515","news_2514"],"label":"news_6944"},"news_64937":{"type":"posts","id":"news_64937","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"64937","score":null,"sort":[1336778614000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"researcher-defends-his-work-on-gill-tract-says-work-with-corn-unfairly-demonized","title":"Researcher Defends His Work on Gill Tract, Says Use of Corn Unfairly Demonized","publishDate":1336778614,"format":"aside","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_65145\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 233px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/05/08/occupy-the-farm-gill-tract/#slide\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-65145\" title=\"occupyfarmmatthewwilliams\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/05/occupyfarmmatthewwilliams-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"142\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Protesters work the land at the Gill Tract.

Lisch does genetic research on corn, studying pieces of DNA called \u003ca href=\"http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/T/Transposons.html\">transposons\u003c/a> that can impact evolution and cause mutations.

From a 2004 article in the Sacramento Bee titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/static/live/news/projects/biotech/archive/080104.html\">Report: Five-year deal with Novartis hurt UC Berkeley\u003c/a>\"...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The contract, which expired in November, gave a select group of Berkeley biologists $25 million for research along with access to trade secrets, principally in genetics.

That's what they got for their horrible, corrupting funding.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's an edited transcript of the rest of the interview, in which we discussed Occupy the Farm:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Would it be impossible for you to do your research with the protesters there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>UC RESEARCHER DAMON LISCH\u003c/strong>: There are a couple of issues. One is the protesters took a big amount of space. They didn’t ask us, and they planted a whole bunch of the field. We could probably work with that because there might be enough space for us, though it may not be the space we would have picked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other issue: this is our laboratory. If somebody said to you well you wouldn't mind if I just be in your office and work on your computer sometimes and I can help you with that writing you do, you'd object to that, especially if you knew they didn’t like what you write very much.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>It's very clear to me that many of the protesters are profoundly suspicious of corn, and it's almost become a totemic kind of thing, where corn is bad...\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I personally hand plant 3-4,000 seeds. They all have to be catalogued, they all have to be in order, they have to be numbered, and we have to collect samples from them, and once the plants are big enough, we have to cross them and make a note of what we cross to what. So you can imagine how one curious person running through pulling bags off or knocking down a few corn plants could cause a huge amount of trouble for us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other issue I really have is it's very clear to me that many of the protesters are profoundly suspicious of corn, and it's almost become a totemic kind of thing, where corn is bad, it makes us fat, it's corporate. No matter what I say, many of them are convinced I'm funded by corporations to make bad corn. And we've had our corn chopped down in the past by activists. So I'm really not comfortable with a lot of activists sharing my field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the public's mind, corn research is connected to \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=gmo+corn\">GMO corn\u003c/a>. And if you work on corn, it has to be corporate. But corn's been a model organism for genetic analysis for 100 years, so that's why we use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now the anti-GMO sentiment is so vociferous, if you work on corn you kind of have a target on your back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What about criticism that the land is underused?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LISCH\u003c/strong>: Well if you go out to any farm in the winter, there's not much growing there. So we often use most of that part of the field. It's not under-utilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that the protesters have a vision of how this land should be used, having to do with sustainable agriculture. I would rather have it used for basic research. So we have just a fundamental disagreement. And I think the only difference is there's this very moralistic tone that's added to their preference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How do you feel about your colleague, Miguel Altieri, so firmly supporting the protesters?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LISCH\u003c/strong>: I think he shares their vision so it's an attractive idea to him that the land is used for the purpose they want. I’m disappointed, I wish he would have stuck up for us, but he can make his own decisions about what he thinks is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would have been happy if we had some long-term arrangement, maybe with a fence, for both scientific research and professor Altieri's work -- and urban farming and perhaps space for farming education. And maybe they could look at our plants as well and we could tell them about our research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I have no problem in theory with any of that. But I do have an enormous problem with people unilaterally making decisions about what's done right now with that space. I didn’t vote for them, and when they talk about speaking for the community, as far as I can tell that just means people who agree with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you ask a lot of residents in Albany, they've been fighting about this for years, with city council meetings and back and forth and arguments, and that's just been completely trumped. I object to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What do you think will happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LISCH\u003c/strong>: I think it's likely the protesters will leave one way or another. I think it would be a terrible precedent if they were allowed to stay. Because it's just profoundly anti-democratic. What if a right-wing group decided that the political department is doing bad things and they'll occupy that? It's a terrible way to go about things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I hope will happen is that it will be resolved peacefully and people who advocate for urban farming will be allowed a seat at the table and express their opinion and the university takes it seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've met a number of the protesters and they're not bad people. I went down there, and they were all sitting in a circle, and I spoke up and told them what I told you. The first part of their message was, consistently, that you could go somewhere else. I tried to explain how impractical and difficult that was, but they were not rude or confrontational at all.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Today, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/05/11/gill-tract-occupy-the-farm/\">UC Berkeley issued a statement\u003c/a> giving Occupy the Farm a deadline of Saturday at 10:00am to dismantle their camp.

So, we urge the occupiers to take ”yes” for an answer, leave our property, allow the research to commence and have a seat at the table. We are moving on and can only hope they will quickly decide to choose collaboration over confrontation.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":null,"status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1336790601,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":43,"wordCount":2125},"headData":{"title":"Researcher Defends His Work on Gill Tract, Says Use of Corn Unfairly Demonized | KQED","description":"Since Apr 22, dozens of activists have been "occupying the farm" in Albany -- the "farm" being the Gill Tract, a five-acre parcel of land owned by UC Berkeley that it used for agricultural research.

When told that the corn researchers said the commute to Davis for their five-month field season would be problematic—time-consuming, polluting and prohibitive to student assistants without cars—and that the move would come too late for this year, Altieri dismissed the concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have big money,” he said. “Federal and corporate.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://pmb.berkeley.edu/profile/dlisch\">Damon Lisch\u003c/a>, who is affiliated with the university's Department of Plant & Microbial Biology, is one of the researchers who is scheduled to set up on the Gill Tract in May. Lisch does genetic research on corn, studying pieces of DNA called \u003ca href=\"http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/T/Transposons.html\">transposons\u003c/a> that can impact evolution and cause mutations. In an interview on Wednesday, he said \"the basic research done on Gill Tract has been extraordinarily productive\" in the last few years, \"leading to important insights published in journals like Nature Genetics, Nature and Science.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisch told me he, like the other Gill researchers, receives government funding but no corporate money. All of his funding, he says, \"depends on results I get from my field work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisch said he did receive corporate funding when he came to the university, in a controversial and some would say notorious deal with the biotechnology company Novartis. From a 2004 article in the Sacramento Bee titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/static/live/news/projects/biotech/archive/080104.html\">Report: Five-year deal with Novartis hurt UC Berkeley\u003c/a>\"...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The contract, which expired in November, gave a select group of Berkeley biologists $25 million for research along with access to trade secrets, principally in genetics. In return, Novartis got first dibs on potentially lucrative discoveries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal provoked vigorous and often angry debate on campus and inspired numerous articles in the popular press, including one in Atlantic Monthly magazine titled \"The Kept University.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, the collaboration didn't turn out as anyone expected. The company didn't try to strong-arm the scientists to pursue only commercially valuable research, as some had predicted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lisch said there's been an \"infuriating misconception about that process,\" and that the company \"never said word one about what I was supposed to do....I discovered with their money that one of my transposons had actually moved from one species to another, which is the last thing you want to hear if you're doing GMO (genetically modified organism) research. That's what they got for their horrible, corrupting funding.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's an edited transcript of the rest of the interview, in which we discussed Occupy the Farm:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Would it be impossible for you to do your research with the protesters there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>UC RESEARCHER DAMON LISCH\u003c/strong>: There are a couple of issues. One is the protesters took a big amount of space. They didn’t ask us, and they planted a whole bunch of the field. We could probably work with that because there might be enough space for us, though it may not be the space we would have picked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other issue: this is our laboratory. If somebody said to you well you wouldn't mind if I just be in your office and work on your computer sometimes and I can help you with that writing you do, you'd object to that, especially if you knew they didn’t like what you write very much.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>It's very clear to me that many of the protesters are profoundly suspicious of corn, and it's almost become a totemic kind of thing, where corn is bad...\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I personally hand plant 3-4,000 seeds. They all have to be catalogued, they all have to be in order, they have to be numbered, and we have to collect samples from them, and once the plants are big enough, we have to cross them and make a note of what we cross to what. So you can imagine how one curious person running through pulling bags off or knocking down a few corn plants could cause a huge amount of trouble for us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other issue I really have is it's very clear to me that many of the protesters are profoundly suspicious of corn, and it's almost become a totemic kind of thing, where corn is bad, it makes us fat, it's corporate. No matter what I say, many of them are convinced I'm funded by corporations to make bad corn. And we've had our corn chopped down in the past by activists. So I'm really not comfortable with a lot of activists sharing my field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the public's mind, corn research is connected to \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=gmo+corn\">GMO corn\u003c/a>. And if you work on corn, it has to be corporate. But corn's been a model organism for genetic analysis for 100 years, so that's why we use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now the anti-GMO sentiment is so vociferous, if you work on corn you kind of have a target on your back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What about criticism that the land is underused?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LISCH\u003c/strong>: Well if you go out to any farm in the winter, there's not much growing there. So we often use most of that part of the field. It's not under-utilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that the protesters have a vision of how this land should be used, having to do with sustainable agriculture. I would rather have it used for basic research. So we have just a fundamental disagreement. And I think the only difference is there's this very moralistic tone that's added to their preference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How do you feel about your colleague, Miguel Altieri, so firmly supporting the protesters?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LISCH\u003c/strong>: I think he shares their vision so it's an attractive idea to him that the land is used for the purpose they want. I’m disappointed, I wish he would have stuck up for us, but he can make his own decisions about what he thinks is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would have been happy if we had some long-term arrangement, maybe with a fence, for both scientific research and professor Altieri's work -- and urban farming and perhaps space for farming education. And maybe they could look at our plants as well and we could tell them about our research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I have no problem in theory with any of that. But I do have an enormous problem with people unilaterally making decisions about what's done right now with that space. I didn’t vote for them, and when they talk about speaking for the community, as far as I can tell that just means people who agree with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you ask a lot of residents in Albany, they've been fighting about this for years, with city council meetings and back and forth and arguments, and that's just been completely trumped. I object to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What do you think will happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LISCH\u003c/strong>: I think it's likely the protesters will leave one way or another. I think it would be a terrible precedent if they were allowed to stay. Because it's just profoundly anti-democratic. What if a right-wing group decided that the political department is doing bad things and they'll occupy that? It's a terrible way to go about things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I hope will happen is that it will be resolved peacefully and people who advocate for urban farming will be allowed a seat at the table and express their opinion and the university takes it seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've met a number of the protesters and they're not bad people. I went down there, and they were all sitting in a circle, and I spoke up and told them what I told you. The first part of their message was, consistently, that you could go somewhere else. I tried to explain how impractical and difficult that was, but they were not rude or confrontational at all.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Today, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/05/11/gill-tract-occupy-the-farm/\">UC Berkeley issued a statement\u003c/a> giving Occupy the Farm a deadline of Saturday at 10:00am to dismantle their camp.
